Songs and stories celebrating the world’s greatest female singers

ABOUT THE SHOW

Get ready for DIVA, a celebration of the power, emotion, and beauty of the female voice, starring the distinguished Australian musical theatre and cabaret performer, Queenie van de Zandt.

Hailed in the press as being "in a league of her own" as an entertainer, Queenie van de Zandt is considered by critics and colleagues alike, to possess one of the most extraordinary voices in the country.

In DIVA, Queenie brings her exceptional talents to life, reinterpreting the timeless melodies of the world's most beloved chanteuses. Immerse yourself in her unforgettable performance of songs made famous by legendary musical theatre divas such as Barbra Streisand and Patti LuPone, the soulful sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, and the gentle folk tunes of Eva Cassidy and Joni Mitchell.
