Cancellation of the Diva's Travesty Revue: Best Friends canceled!
The anticipation for the “Diva’s Travestie-Revue” in the Martinsschlössl restaurant was suddenly dampened because the planned show “Beste Freunde” had to be canceled due to too few reservations. This message, that meinkreis.at released comes just before the event, which was scheduled for June 13th.
The drag show was intended to delight the audience with live music, exciting dance numbers and entertaining parodies. At the helm was René, also known as “Meggy Rogers,” an experienced ballet dancer and choreographer with over 65 years of stage experience. He not only sang with the famous boys' choir, but was also active as a ballet dancer at the Vienna Volksoper. Two decades ago he founded the “Diva’s Travestie-Revue”, which still stands for high entertainment today. Other actresses in the show included “Francis Paradise,” “Amanda Champagne” and “Unique Adams.”
Will there be a new opportunity in the future? Well, the program "Best Friends" is performed in other places, so fans of drag art will not have to wait long for a new opportunity.
A look at the art of travesty
Travesty formats are very popular throughout Austria. The travesty show “Divas Pailetten-Parade” recently thrilled viewers with a colorful mix of live singing, dance numbers and lively parodies at the Theaterei St. Christophen noen.at reported. The actors, including Meggy Rogers and Francis Paradise, have acquired a whole repertoire of unusual costumes for this passionate show, which are often presented in lightning-fast changes during the performance.
Imitations of great artists such as Tina Turner and Liza Minnelli are particularly popular, causing lots of laughs and enthusiastic heckling. A charming parody of the cooking show “Silvia Cooks” added a special charm to the event.
The fascination of travesty
Travesty, the artistic disguise of men in female roles, has developed into a popular art form in recent decades. One of the long-standing active groups, the "Herr…lichen Damen", has been delighting its audience for 31 years with a combination of opulent costumes, precise choreographies and varied live singing and has even been awarded an International Show Prize vol.at reported.
The transvestite actors make the stage shake - from Mozart to disco to the hits of Falco, there is something for every taste. Creative and interactive elements, such as the famous duck dance, also ensure a good atmosphere and get the audience singing along.
With the "Best Friends" program soon returning to various locations, audiences in Vienna and beyond can continue to expect unforgettable nights full of glitter, music and carefree laughter. It will be exciting to see what surprises the talented artists are preparing - the bamboo trees at the foot of the Museum Quarter will certainly make your ears prick up!
