By:

DIVA by DIVA A Celebration of Women is partnering their signature show with their male counterpart revue, GENTLEMEN'S GENTLEMEN to bring us GENTLEMEN PREFER DIVAS Curtain Up Weekend for three performances at Shea's Smith Theatre, in Downtown Buffalo (next door to Shea's Box Office.)

Originally conceived by Mary Kate O'Connell, GENTLEMEN PREFER DIVAS will play Shea's Smith Theatre on Curtain Up Weekend: Sept. 16 (Curtain Up! at 8pm), Sept. 17 (at 8pm) & Sept. 18 (at 2pm). TICKETS: $31. Available at the Shea's Box Office, by calling 1-800-745-3000, or for online purchase at www.sheas.org.

The show is a cabaret-style format celebrating the many images of men and women through quotes, stories, jokes and it is filled with wonderful music, great fun and a different mix of cast and material.

Three special performances for Curtain Up! weekend at Shea's Smith Theatre, 660 Main St., Buffalo, NY. DIVA by DIVA meets GENTLEMEN'S GENTLEMEN in this all-star cabaret celebration!

This special engagement is a fundraiser for O'Connell & Company and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the BPO Kids for Exceptional Kids! Series.
