Jim Caruso and TheaterMania.com are proud to present Broadway singer/actress/impersonator Christine Pedi in Great Dames at Birdland (315 West 44 Street, NYC) on Monday, April 3 at 7pm. Tickets are $25 plus a $10 food/drink minimum and may be purchased by calling 212-581-3080 or visiting www.InstantSeats.com/Birdland.

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.
