Why is Everyone Laughing?

Posted March 2, 2017 at 5:49 am by

Proud mom Cynthia Burke shares some happy news from her daughter Hanna…

Hanna Burke wrote, produced, directed and starred in her show based on Madeline Kahn’s life.  The one hour show is a mixture of stories & songs from Madeline’s life and career and Hanna has been performing the show in New York over the last 6 months.  

Hanna has chosen to donate all the profits of the show to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance OCRFA in honor of Madeline who passed away at a young age from Ovarian Cancer.  I am so happy that her work has been recognized and she has been nominated for this award –

From Hanna:
I am THRILLED to announce that “Why is Everyone Laughing?” A Tribute to MADELINE KAHN has been nominated for a 2017 MAC Award for Best Female Debut!
THANK YOU to the MAC Members who voted and to everyone who came and supported the show! I am so grateful for all of the love and recognition!

Congratulations to all of the MAC nominees! Looking forward to seeing you all on the big night! Award ceremony will be in New York on March 28th!
