  Tom D'Angora, who received much acclaim for his debut show, "Divas I've Done", returns to the Don't Tell Mama stage for a special NY performance. The show, humorously re-titled "Divas Re-Done" for returning NY audiences, will feature a revised script, added songs, and more jokes than ever before. All of this is in anticipation for Tom's upcoming five week L.A. run. The revised show will still celebrate some of Tom's favorite women growing up through tributes, songs, parodies, and unforgettable anecdotes. However this time the show will focus on slightly more mainstream, yet still fabulous, divas like: Jane Wyman of T.V.'s Falcon Crest, The Queen of Hearts Princess Diana, The Nanny named Fran Drescher, every one's favorite Audrey Ellen Greene, Broadway legend Liza Minnelli, and a special mystery diva to be revealed each week!

In the past Tom has worn many hats…he wowed audiences as the young standout in the highly controversial Provincetown production of "Naked Boys Singing!", became every one's favorite flyer boy/promoter with his successful marketing company at TKTS, created a cult following as the "Copacabana Boy" at Ellen's Stardust Diner, and even acted as the Executive Producer on Ellen Greene's CD! However, it is with "Divas I've Done" that Tom has earned the most recognition. Playbill Online honored him as one of last years "Leading Men" and listed one of Tom's hilarious parodies ("Somewhere That's Pink") as one of the year's best musical moments, while Backstage awarded him their Bistro Award for Outstanding Musical Comedy.

 "Diva's I've Done" not only features Tom D'Angora's talent as an energetic performer but as a skilled comedic writer of dialogue and parody as well. The show is directed by Michael Duling. Featured in the show are Stephanie Harwood, Kate Pazakis, and Noel Cody as Princess Diana. Wayman Wong of Playbill Online describes the show as, "Jack McFarland's campy cabaret act Just Jack…only ten times funnier", while Cabaret Hotline's Stu Hamstra simply warns audiences to, "Be ready to laugh 'til it hurts".

"Divas I've Done" will play Don't Tell Mama Sunday, November 7th at 8 pm. There is a $15 cover and 2 drink minimum; cash only. $10 cover for Cabaret Hotline Online Members. Don't Tell Mama is located at 343 W. 46th St. (btw 8th and 9th). Reservations can be made by calling 212.757.0788.

Tom's LA engagement begins on November 17, when he will be playing every Wednesday and Sunday night at the Room 5 Lounge located at 143 North La Brea. Further information will be released soon.
