Special Guests Jenni Doyle as Shania Twain & Bill Pantazis as George Michael.
OMG! WE DID IT!!! Totally stoked, humbled and grateful! Our first show in 2018 was well-applauded, surprisingly well-attended (despite the very slow January after the holidays chill… lol), rave reviews not only from the fans and supporters but from the Massey theatre sound and stage crew. Our special guests Jenni Doyle (Shania Twain) and Bill Pantazis (George Michael) were both SUPER AMAZING! My band and dancers did an absolutely brilliant performance.

This is one of the highlights of the night… so proud of my daughters Kimi and Zenia Marshall shining on stage… surprising the audience with their chillin’ rendition of the Cranberries’ big hit song “ZOMBIE” to pay tribute to its singer Dolores O’Riordan who passed away just 3 weeks ago.

What made us so extremely happy was the SIMPLY THE BEST Team steppin’ up and makin’ it easy for everyone to work and flow in a very professional manner inspiring each other with impeccable work ethics and high respect. If I have this team and crew all the time… I would be doing this for many, many more years. HAHA! 😄👨 THANK YOU!
SUPER THANKS for all the love given to us by the fans, supporters, families and sponsors. Especially, our good friends PapaBear Canada, Narima Dela Cruz, Winnie Chan who helped us distribute our posters and flyers… the businesses that put up our posters all over. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

>> LADNER, Genesis Theatre – Friday – March 2/2018
Another fantastic night and another standing Ovation. Thank you Ladner!
ALMOST FABULOUS SHOW LAST NIGHT IN LADNER! Thanks to the crowd for the STANDING OVATION! You made us so so happy 😀😁😄. The feeling of a long, long day of work and stress was instantly gone.
It’s difficult for a live band to get the proper mix, monitor levels and sound in less than 2 hours after set-up. Then video issues were inevitable when computer crashed a few times before the show. A few technical difficulties the whole evening but the crowd was just super awesome. WOW! The end result was everybody had a great time… singing, dancing, laughing. So glad to see beautiful friends 😀 in the audience.
My Family, Band, Dancers, Bill Pantazis (George Michael) and Jenni Doyle (Shania Twain) wanna do a big SHOUT OUT to the Genesis Theatre staff, sound & light techs and management! We luv Morgan Farquhar for helping us with the video background! MANY THANKS to Jean Joseph and her crew of beautiful friends, Elaine Doty Crossley and husband Bill for being one of my sexy men and for helping us to promote the show. It’s nice to see some USTAABC peeps. 😍 MOST OF ALL, OUR MWAHS to Cabalen Sweets Jay and Flor for the delicious food. ♥💞 Sharing show pics courtesy of Bill Pantazis, Morgan Farquhar, selfies ‘meet & greet’, behind the scenes.😁

All smiles at the Clarke Theatre. 🙂
Special Guest Bill Pantazis as George Michael.
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE! Proudly sharing Clarke Theatre pictures. I thought we had to cancel the show because of my bad allergies. Although hurting, coughing and lots of headaches and difficulty in breathing… I managed to perform and got through the night. The crowd was just super awesome and very, very receptive and engaging. Thanks for the standing ovation! It made us feel so fabulous and special!
WHAT ALSO MADE THAT NIGHT SPECIAL!
We celebrated our keyboard player Jojo Palermo with an amazing birthday cake.

Luisa as Tina.
SO EXHILARATING! “Queen of Rock N Roll” is totally proud and loud with a purpose! Still speechless with the reality that my career has taken me to a place that’s indescribably surreal. Performing and talking to big audiences from all walks of life in the mainstream world to make a statement, make a stand, uplift others, spread awareness, empower, inspire and then getting back that big force of positive energy and love have made me realized that it takes a powerful sense of drive, integrity, sacrifice and determination to be where I am right now. HAPPY and SO MUCH IN LOVE with the people I care for and admire all these years. 
💗💗💗THANK Y’ALL FOR THE OVERFLOWING SUPPORT! Allow me to shout it out loud… YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Sharing pics taken at – the ACT Arts Centre – Sunday show from many beautiful friends in the audience. We appreciate all the love 💗. You guys are simply the best!
