Broadway Diva
★★★★★ STAGE WHISPERS ★★★★★ WEEKEND NOTES ★★★★½ GLAM ADELAIDE ★★★★½ ABC SMART ARTS/THAT GUY IN THE FOYER
Theatre Travels and Olivia Ruggiero Productions are proud to present, Broadway Diva
Opera and Musical Theatre singer, Olivia Ruggiero, stars in Broadway Diva – a cabaret featuring Broadway Belts, West End Wonders, Opera Classics, and beloved show tunes from productions such as Les Miserables, Anastasia, Cabaret, Smash, Jesus Christ Superstar and more.
The show is a celebration of ‘earworms,’ those songs that stay with you long after you have heard them on stage.
A sell out at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, 20223, the show has been touted as “Utterly Entrancing” -John Doherty, That Guy in the Foyer AND “a truly heartfelt production” – Glam Adelaide. The show most recently performed to a total sellout audience and raucous standing ovations at Claire’s Kitchen in Sydney.
Olivia takes to the stage after being named BroadwayWorld Sydney’s Best Solo Performer of 2022.”Ruggiero might just be one of Australia’s true (and very rare) hidden musical secrets. Broadway, if you are reading this: come and get her already!” – Matthew Hocter Reviews
It’s been nearly 10 years since Olivia’s last performance in Bathurst, the star’s hometown. Broadway Diva will take to the Marble Hall stage at St Stanislaus’ College where Olivia made her theatrical debut many years ago. In Bathurst, Tory Roth will accompany Olivia on the piano.
Co-created and Directed by celebrated Director Carly Fisher, Broadway Diva is a show for musical lovers and Broadway novices alike.
