One man, as 32 women, in 20 songs and only 85 minutes – the new musical FABULOUS DIVAS OF BROADWAY is a fast-paced musical journey of one man's love of musical theater in tribute to the amazing women that have made their mark on Broadway.
What to do when you're a male performer with a big belting voice and an obsession with Broadway's greatest leading ladies, but no chance of being cast in women's roles? If you're resourceful, you create your own musical! On this unique, comic ride, actor/singer/storyteller Alan Palmer offers backstage tales of his life in "the business" while portraying larger-than-life stars as the show's guides. In rapid succession – and a non-stop turnover of inventive costumes – he brings to life such legends as Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli, Angela Lansbury, Julie Andrews and Chita Rivera and such recent Tony winners as Christine Ebersole, Patti LuPone, Sutton Foster and Kristin Chenoweth, all while performing songs in each lady's singular style. Beyond mimicry, beyond drag, FABULOUS DIVAS OF BROADWAY is a tongue-in-cheek musical experience that is both reverent and irreverent. "The evening was made for fun," said The New York Times.Comments
