Vamps, Rhinestones, Queens; oh dear! Direct from Off-Broadway and Las Vegas; it’s time for DIVAS, DIVAS, DIVAS! Fasten your seatbelts because the next stop is Hollywood! All aboard the Very Gerry Vessel, as we journey to Old Hollywood and pay tribute to iconic women. Ever wanted to know what the divas of the past think about the stars of today? What would they talk about or even sing? Perhaps they're back to clear up a few rumors and bad press? These broads MADE Hollywood. This Impersonation show of epic drag proportions also features audience interaction, big Broadway hits and psychedelic parodies of some of your favorite pop songs! Join internationally known character actor and entertainer, Very Gerry as he brings these Hollywood characters back to life, with a campy trip that you’ll never forget; it’s “Divas in my Mind".
