A spellbinding musical journey exploring the music and lives of seven of the 20th

Century's ground breaking and original women.

quartet takes the audience through the lives and work of 7 legendary & trailblazing divas of the 20th Century; Billie Holiday, Marilyn Monroe, Patsy Cline, Janis Joplin, Mama Cass, Karen Carpenter & Dusty Springfield. Alongside popular hits and rarely heard gems, Issy recounts tales from their often troubled and sadly short lives for a truly dazzling evening of entertainment.
