Jan. 5, 2008 - PRLog -- Englewood Cliffs, NJ - Varla Jean Merman, in a bid for total dominance of the world stage, has straddled the globe this year researching her latest show VARLA JEAN MERMAN LOVES A FOREIGN TONGUE.  After SRO engagements in such exotic locales as Australia (at the world-famous Sydney Opera House), Mexico, Hawaii, New Orleans and Baltimore, everyone's favorite copper-topped live-wire returns to super-charge San Francisco with an electrifying travel-themed extravaganza! Sponsored by www.manhunt.com and directed by Michael Schiralli
Jeffrey Roberson (Varla Jean Merman)  is featured with special guest Mark Cortale, Tenor written by Jeffery Roberson and Jacques Lamarre, costumes by Michael Velasquez and Cecile Casey, props by Allen Cutler and Matthew Scott and wigs by Gerard Kelly.
Varla Jean Merman is a character originated and portrayed by Jeffery Roberson, an American actor, singer and drag performer. Varla's fictitious pedigree boasts that Ernest Borgnine is her father and Ethel Merman is her mother.
Varla is perhaps best known for her role in the 2003 independent film Girls Will Be Girls. She also had a co-starring role in the 1997 film Franchesca Page. Varla was also one of the performers featured in the HBO original documentary Dragtime. She has appeared in a number of short films and live cabaret acts since she and her male alter-ego attended the School of Music at Louisiana State University.
Varla's shows are a staple of summer entertainment in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She also performs fairly often in New Orleans, New York City, San Francisco, London and has also enjoyed billing at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia. The gay-themed television network Logo commissioned Varla to write and star in an animated educational short about the Stonewall riots of 1969.
The San Francisco Weekly exclaims, “The singer blurs the line between what is feminine and what is artifice...the mountainous peaks and troughs of her vocal range defied expectations." Jeffery wrote and starred in the short Improve Your History with Varla Jean: Stonewall, for the launch of the MTV's new television network Logo.
Roberson has almost always been credited as either "Varla Merman" or "Varla Jean Merman" rather than his birth name. Check out Varla Jean Merman’s website at www.varlaonline.com.
