Kahn Artist: Madeline And Me, starring Eden Casteel

Get ready for a side-splitting, song-filled adventure with Eden Casteel as she dives headfirst into her lifelong obsession with the one and only Madeline Kahn—Mel Brooks’ comedic genius from Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and High Anxiety. The moment teenage Eden saw Madeline Kahn in a Michelob beer commercial, she had one thought: I want to be her when I grow up. From that point on, Eden dreamed of becoming as beautiful, witty, and ridiculously talented as Kahn—and maybe scoring a Michelob commercial or two. Directed by Tony Award winner Faith Prince and co-written with Rod Ferguson, this show mixes laugh-out-loud stories, Kahn-inspired tunes, and moments of pure ridiculousness.

Now based in southern Rhode Island (because why not?), Eden is a coloratura soprano from Columbus, Ohio, who livestreams, sings, plays piano, teaches voice, and somehow won a 2024 MAC Award for Best Comedy/Novelty Song (“What Are You Doing Rosh Hashanah Eve?”). With her life’s wild ups and downs mirroring Madeline Kahn’s in hilariously unexpected ways, Eden’s tribute is a whirlwind of zany fun, heartfelt moments, and songs that will make you cry with laughter—and maybe even feel a little bit inspired. Come for the comedy, stay for the feels!
