The First Ladies of Song:
Take a soul-stirring journey during this intimate, sophisticated musical production celebrating the world’s legendary divas and the songs they made so famous. Helen turns the spotlight on the greatest divas of them all “singing a wealth of tunes by some of the great women past and present of American Popular music, from Judy Garland to Aretha Franklin, from Ella Fitzgerald to Etta James, from Nina Simone to Barbra Streisand and from Dolly Parton to Joni Mitchell… And to say that the audience is in for a good time is an understatement” (Arlene Bachanov Daily Telegram)
Songs include: At Last, Over the Rainbow, Fever, Natural Woman, Evergreen, Jolene, Both Sides Now, Walkin’ after Midnight,and more! Helen includes some interesting factoids about each female phenom along with some funny personal stories and her usual cheeky British humor.
This show is a must for anyone who loves great classic songs past and present. Tony Hagood Piano, Bryan Thomas upright bass and Steve Renko drums.
