Back Stage Bistro Award winner Tom D'Angora brought his critically acclaimed super hit Divas I've Done back to NYC. A deliberately campy cabaret act, the show was originally described as 'an outrageous evening of tributes, parodies and songs dedicated to the woman that have touched Tom and America's life!' Critics hailed him as a 'star of tomorrow' (BackStage West) and 'Just Jack...only ten times funnier' (Wayman Wong-Playbill.com) and the show went on to receive the 2004 Backstage Bistro Award for best musical comedy. Following every performance is a unique appearance by a Broadway diva...past divas have included Schaffel, Days, and Greene, plus Christine Pedi, Kristy Cates, Natalie Joy Johnson, Jennifer Rae Beck, and others.
