The Menier Chocolate Factory today announces that Christina Bianco returns to the Menier Chocolate Factory stage with her acclaimed one-woman show In Divine Company for eleven performances only from 11 to 20 May. Priority booking opens today, with public booking opening on 18 April.
Witness all your favourite divas on stage together, in the singular form of internationally acclaimed performer, Christina Bianco.
Inspired by the divine divas of our day, Bianco honours their talents as only she can – by channelling their voices through uncanny and hilarious impressions – while also illuminating the path that led her to find her own voice and brought her from New York City to London.
From stage to screen, Bianco’s singular voice and comedic charm have brought audiences around the world to their feet. Part Barbra Streisand, part Bette Midler, part Tracey Ullman, her award-winning concerts are filled with soaring vocals and celebrity impressions that the whole family can enjoy. With music spanning a wide range of styles and eras, Bianco and music director Ryan MacKenzie will present dynamic arrangements of classic standards, show-tunes, and beloved pop songs.
