The creative team behind the hit off-Broadway musical Fabulous Divas of Broadway are at it again bringing the Retro Dome a new show entitled Fabulous Divas of Hollywood. Writer/ creator Alan Palmer has outdone himself with this irreverent tribute to Hollywood films and the delightful divas that starred in them.

The outlandish, outrageous and out and out fun-filled show parodies some of the biggest and best that Hollywood has to offer. With fast paced changes of beautiful costumes, wigs, wonderful projections, and a bevy of satirical songs, Alan Palmer's impressions remind us why we all love to go to the movies and adore the leading women who star in them.

A non-stop turnover of gorgeous costumes, he brings to life such legends as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Liza Minnelli, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, Dolly Parton and such Oscar winning stars of today as Cher, Meryl Streep, and Barbra Streisand, all while performing songs in each leading-lady's singular style.

Beyond mimicry, beyond drag, Alan Palmer'S FABULOUS DIVAS OF HOLLYWOOD is a tongue-in-cheek musical experience that is both reverent and irreverent, in rapid succession.. A loving and hysterical tribute to the Prima Performers of Hollywood, it's a must for all lovers of film!

Written and staged by Alan Palmer, the production features projection design by Rich Brown, and costume design by Curtis Jerome.
