What do Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton, and Cher have in common with Edith Bunker, Mae West, and Lady Gaga?
Answer: Bonnie Kilroe.
And after an insane (in a good way) year of globetrotting, this Vancouver entertainer is bringing her one-woman tour de force Divas: Vaudeville meets Vegas back to 91原创 next week.
芒鈧揑 have been the busiest ever the last year and a half performing everywhere from Shanghai to Dawson City, Monte Carlo to Ohio,芒鈧� Kilroe told the 91原创 Advance Wednesday. 芒鈧揝o much travelling.芒鈧�
In fact, she called from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to share how excited she is about bringing her new show to her fans in 91原创.
She had been performing in the Mexican resort town for all of January and February, but said this week芒鈧劉s visit is all about vacationing.
芒鈧揑 only had to bring one suitcase. What a dream,芒鈧� she said with a chuckle.
芒鈧揘ot even a carry on. This has been especially sweet having just got back from a two week run in Rosarito Mexico carrying around five suitcases.芒鈧�
While in Rosarito, Kilroe decided to stop in Vegas for a few days, on her drive home, and catch some shows. More importantly, she said, she shot some 芒鈧揼reat and funny footage芒鈧� for a new Cher video montage she芒鈧劉s created to show her audience during the last big costume change of her shows.
芒鈧揑 love using media and I even shot some footage at the casino,芒鈧� Kilroe said, excited to share that.
Asked more about the show she芒鈧劉s bringing to 91原创 on Sunday, June 22, at Cascades Casino, she said it is a celebrity impersonation spectacle made up of one-part tribute, one-part farce that will have people laughing and crying 芒鈧�� sometimes within a single breath.
芒鈧揑 have a new medley that I do before I get into my real characterizations. It芒鈧劉s about seven minutes long and I do a little bit of everybody from either
Edith Bunker to Marlene Dietrich to Shakira, and I am adding Prince to the mix,芒鈧� Kilroe shared.
芒鈧揑 also have a bigger role for Sharon Osbourne in the show,芒鈧� she said, noting she can芒鈧劉t wait to share it with what she calls one of her favourite audiences in 91原创.
Tickets are $32.50 and available from the casino guest services, by phone at 604-530-2211, or at www.ticketweb.ca. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show at 7:30 p.m.
With more than 40 songs, more than 20 characters, and just as many costume changes this extravaganza will make people芒鈧劉s heads spin.
From start to finish it is all voiced, sung, and acted by Kilroe, who encourages audience participation.
芒鈧揝he looks, acts, sounds and sings like the stars she re-creates,芒鈧� said the 91原创芒鈧劉s show promoter Rob Warwick, who noted she芒鈧劉s won numerous awards for her costumes and performances alike.
Kilroe has been bringing Divas: Vaudeville meets Vegas to audiences for more than a decade.
But, not content with the status quo, she is constantly seeking new ways to thrill and delight, and even Warwick is excited to see what she芒鈧劉s added lately.
芒鈧揂 truly multimedia experience, this professional production is filled with huge laughs and surprising twists. Natural comedic timing, versatile vocals and a striking appearance result in a mesmerizing show that will dazzle the senses.芒鈧�
