The Cabaret at the Columbia Club Presents Christine Pedi in Great Dames 8/14

Where else can you see Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, Barbra Streisand Julie Andrews and Ethel Merman all in the same show? Long time Forbidden Broadway diva and impressionist Christine Pedi sings songs made famous by the greatest ladies of the stage, screen and beyond. With comic flair and warm appreciation, she conjures up classic tunes first popularized by many a great dame.
Great Dames won the 2008 New York NightLife Award, the Backstage Bistro Award and received a MAC nomination as well as being named one of the "Top Ten Memorable Theatre Moments of the Year" on BroadwayWorld.com.

"Pedi is a musical theater lead with the heart and soul of a comedienne, and the Combination creates more effervescence than a glass of good champagne"

Her long association as a lead in the off-Broadway satirical revue Forbidden Broadway earned Christine a Drama Desk nomination, an LA Ovation award and lots of frequent flyer miles (Tokyo, Singapore, Australia & London's West End). She was most recently on Broadway in Eric Bogosians Talk Radio starring Liev Schrieber. (Coincidentally, you can hear her hosting the Broadway Breakfast daily on SIRIUS/XM radio).
