Vancouver performer, Bonnie Kilroe, is bringing her musical comedy impersonation show DIVAS: Vegas meets Vaudeville to Mission’s Clarke Theatre.
The show is set for Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m. and tickets ($20) are available in advance at wonderwomensociety.com/events.
Fresh from Orlando, Florida at the Sunburst convention for Professional Celebrity Impersonators, Kilroe was inducted into the Hall of Fame for Most Unique Act as well as an award for Gold Showcase, as judged by local agents.
The show combines vaudevillian comedy with singing and spectacular costumes, creating a powerful parade of fun and parody.
DIVAS: Vegas meets Vaudeville is a 100-minute musical comedy celebrity impersonation show featuring 20 iconic singers, actresses, and entertainers from the past including Mae West and Marilyn Monroe, plus other legends with timeless appeal including Cher, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, Madonna, Reba McIntyre and Tina Turner and finally stars of the present like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Shakira.
It’s a fun, visually exciting show with full costume/wig changes.
Throughout the show, Kilroe uses her improvisational skills as a performer to encourage audience participation, which adds an extra element of novelty and surprise. Unlike other multi-celebrity impersonation shows, she performs all of the voices, speaking and singing live.
The Mission show is a fundraising event for the Wonder Women Society, a B.C. non-profit group that supports and empowers women in the areas of education, employment, health and business.
