This electrifying production, hailed as "a powerhouse performance" by the Edmonton Journal, and a "BEST OF FEST" by the Orlando Sentinel, celebrates the iconic voices that have shaped the world of entertainment. A Cabaret of Legends is a thrilling musical journey where Tymisha Harris, with her undeniable charisma and "vocal fireworks” (CBC Montreal), pays homage to the greatest performers of all time, from soulful jazz to electrifying pop. Harris, star of the international hit show Josephine, sings through the generations of black female vocal legends and shares stories of their impact on her personal journey.
Harris has an "uncanny ability to mimic the voice stylings of the various singers whose songs she performs, whether it’s Billie Holliday or Whitney Houston, without completely losing her own unique qualities". Audiences can expect a non-stop spectacle of music, dance, and pure entertainment. Critics have praised the show as "a stunning display of song and history" and stated, "you still might be singing...out loud for days after this perfect act of love."
