Wollongong to Host Divine

Saturday 18 February – the Divine Miss M tribute show will be dazzling audiences at Illawarra Master Builders Club.

Shows can be booked a lot of different ways, mostly through the channels of marketing through Agents & Venues. This particular gig came out of a random conversation through Facebook.

Social networking at its best.

Sydney-siders – it’s only an hour down the road! Tell your friends to come and see a show that will make you laugh and make you cry! Featuring the wonderful talents of Vicky Welch and Monique Morrell along with Builders’ fabulous in-house band this will be a fantastic night not to miss.

Yes! The mermaid will be there!

Yes! I am bringing along my great-big-knockers!

Jokes, antics, and fabulous songs: From the energy of Bugle Boy & Beast of Burden, to the style of Miss Otis Regrets, and the heart of Wind Beneath My Wings and The Rose (not to mention the hilarity of Long John Blues, Hawaiiant War Chant & Pretty Legs-Great Big Knockers) this will be a night to remember!

Hope to see you there!

Sometimes, it’s the Little Things that Count

Performing a tribute to the Divine MIss M is huge. Costumes, band, backing singers, props, venue, stage etc. You just can’t do a big enough, glossy enough, and bold enough tribute to the Divine Miss M.

And sometimes, just on rare occasions, an intimate version of the show works so well. Just a pianist, buoyed along by backing tracks and Me – dressed as Bette, using a lot of the comedy content and audience rapport to make the show feel huge in a small space as you reach out and touch the people in the audience.

Unfortunately at a recent show – the whole “reaching out and touching people” got a little messy as the props for the song: “Pretty Legs, Great Big Knockers” went flying into the audience and took out a number of wine glasses.Bette Midler tribute - Pretty Legs, Great Big Knockers - Divine Miss M

This only fueled the hilarity of the event, and went on to prove that in the right situation, small shows really work, because sometimes it IS the little things that count.
