22 May Rocking the River Rock in Richmond

I love performing at the River Rock Show Theatre. They have the best sound and lighting production built into a beautiful room. Corporate clients who book that space are ready to throw a great party.

Liza Minnelli, Joan Rivers, Drew Carey, Martin Short and Julio Iglesias have performed on that stage along with dozens of other big names. I feel like a top A-list celebrity when I’m there and the audiences respond like I’m really the stars I portray.

I was thrilled to perform for a repeat client at the favorite venue last month. They book me annually for their service awards, since the recipients change every year. The event planners who produce this show are so thoughtful and considerate that I feel spoiled. I even have my own personal attendant providing anything I want in my green room.

I wore my new Tina Turner wig, styled by Anthony Crossfield, and dedicated ‘Simply the Best’ to the award winners.

The whole audience stood and danced, kicking their feet in the air to ‘New York New York’ while I impersonated Liza Minnelli.

I had amazing audience participation when I performed as Janis Joplin. Everyone clapped along to ‘Mercedes Benz’ and then audience volunteers played guitars and rocked out with me to ‘Piece of My Heart’.

Dressed as Dolly Parton, I did some stand up comedy after ‘Nine to Five’. Everyone clapped along as I walked through the audience interacting with them.

Cher was a crowd favorite. I am referred to as a look-a-like most often when I imitate her. I dressed up a very funny award winner as Sonny Bono. He stole the show with his comedic portrayal of Cher’s ex-husband. Cher might be the most often impersonated celebrity in the world, especially by female impersonators.

People laugh the hardest when I act like Celine Dion. She is really funny without trying to be. When I’m in character as her it is easy to be a comedian. All I have to do is adlib about her husband René Angélil.

When I was Madonna I had the best Boy Toy dancers. I wish I could post a video, but I want to respect their privacy.

I enjoy performing for all of my corporate audiences. Having exceptional audience participation along with flawless sound, light and video production is a dream come true. The River Rock Show Theatre and my amazing audience from last month brought me more joy than I can express.
