SUPREME DIVAS
Celebrating Fabulous Women of Song
August is the month to celebrate and highlight dynamic women and this
will be done in spectacular fashion on The Mandela stage at Joburg
Theatre with Supreme Divas. The show will run from Thursday
11 August to Sunday 14 August for four performances only.
Supreme Divas will delight audiences old and young as they
celebrate the powerhouse female singers that have become legends through their
music over the past few decades.
Homage is paid to “old school” divas including Etta James,
Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Donna Summer and
many others while younger audiences will relish the celebration of hits from
“new school” divas including Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Christina
Aguilera, Adele and others.
A fitting tribute will also be made to a few of South Africa’s own divas
including Brenda Fassie, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Miriam Makeba and Claire
Johnston.
Taking centre stage will be the insanely talented vocalists Tia
Herman, Lelo Ramasimong, Tracey-Lee Oliver and Elizca Coetzer, with
Born To Perform teenage sensation Marianthe Panas joining them
as she makes her professional theatre debut.
Along with the dynamic 9-piece band led by Music Director Llewellyn
George, audiences will thrill to instantly recognisable hits
including R.E.S.P.E.C.T., Somewhere, If I could turn back time, I’m
every woman, Hot Stuff, Stop in the Name of Love, Vulindlela, Valerie,
Unqombothi, Do You Know where you’re going to, If I were a boy and
many more.
Supreme Divas is the ultimate concert experience,
honouring a selection of the many women who’ve made an indelible mark on the
local and international music industry.
Joburg City Theatres will be producing the show. “We want to portray
South African talent at its best,” says Claire Pacariz, Executive
Producer for Joburg City Theatres. “And with Women’s Day on August
9th, we thought it would be an ideal time to honour legendary women in
song.”

Mandela Stage at Joburg Theatre.
