Christine will conjure up the great dames, dolls, divas, broads, babes
and bombshells of the stage and screen in songs made famous by the
legends. Stage divas Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, Liza Minnelli and
Bernadette Peters will all be channeled thru this musical comedy
extravaganza. Big and small screen queens will be well-represented by
Bette Davis, Joan Rivers, Edith Bunker in a recitation of the American
Film Institute's Top 100 Movie Quotes. In her "real" voice, Christine
will perform a few theatre gems closely associated with some of these
legendary ladies.Christine Pedi has been accumulating voices & characters thru her many years performing in the Off-Broadway musical comedy Forbidden Broadway
(where she met her musical director Matthew Ward). She's done the show
from New York to Australia's Adelaide Festival, London's West End, Los
Angeles, Detroit, Denver, Kankakee, IL; Baraboo, WI; and aboard the
Q.E. II. Her work in Forbidden Hollywood
won her an LA Ovation Award and a Drama Desk Nomination. She was even
asked to do her best Hillary Clinton impression for that First Lady's
50th birthday. On TV, she was featured on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show,"
and "Sopranos" fans might recognize her as the dearly departed Mrs
Bobby Baccala. Christine can be heard seven days a week on Sirius
Satellite Radio's "Broadway's Best" channel, playing showtunes and
interviewing theatrical glitterati.
