Heartland Men's Chorus highlights its lighter side with its final concert of the season. Divas! (June 14-15, 2008) celebrates fabulous, glamorous, iconic women of song. From Whitney to Britney and all the sequined glamour goddesses that came before, audiences will dance in the aisles during HMC’s summer concert spectacular.
“A lot of GALA choruses have presented entire concerts devoted to one particular icon – Cher, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli,” artistic director Joe Nadeau said. “I wanted to take the very best of those concerts and combine them into a single evening of amazing music.”
Divas! features the very best of popular song, including tributes to Madonna (“The Immaculate Medley”), Tina Turner (“Proud Mary”), Bette Midler (“Miss Otis Regrets”) and Barbra Streisand (“Don't Rain on My Parade”). The women of Motown get their due in a medley of “My Guy,” ”Heatwave” and “I Will Follow Him.” From Carol Channing to Karen Carpenter, HMC sings the songs of nearly twenty divas in this high-energy concert.
Joining HMC for Divas! will be Christopher Peterson, a performer whose one-man show “Eyecons” has sold out houses in Toronto, Atlantic City, Key West and Provincetown.
“Christopher is really unique,” Nadeau said. “He’s a brilliant female impersonator, doing all the big divas, but the most amazing thing is that he sings the songs live in the same keys as the women he’s impersonating. It’s really quite impressive.” -- www.hmckc.org
