Mae West: Sex Act

Karen Kohler, a leggy blonde who performs numbers in three languages about women in states of heat, selected one of MAE WEST's signature songs for her current show in New York City.
• • Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Karen Kohler moved to the USA when she was a child.
• • Her new two-act show “Little Death: Songs of Coming and Going” begins with a sultry first half — — "Sex Act" — — and ends with a somber, contemplative "Death Act." The frisky first portion contains material such as Mae West's "A Man What Takes His Time" — — which Mae sang in her classic motion picture "She Done Him Wrong" [1933]. Another selection in "Sex Act" is “Gretchen am Spinnrade,” Schubert’s setting of Goethe’s poetic lament of a woman haunted by the kisses of her dead lover.
• • If Election Day wears you out, then you might want to revive your spirits by seeing Karen Kohler perform "Sex Act" on Wednesday 5 November 2008. On Thursday 6 November 2008, she will do “Death Act”; on 18 November 2008 both acts will be presented.
