Get ready for DIVA, a celebration of the power, emotion, and beauty of the female voice, starring one of Australia’s most distinguished musical theatre and cabaret performers, Queenie van de Zandt.

Hailed in the press again and again as “one of Australia’s greatest vocalists”, Queenie is considered by critics and colleagues alike, to possess one of the most extraordinary voices in the country.

Queenie is a veteran of the industry, with 35+ years seamlessly moving between theatre, musicals, television, film, cabaret and comedy. She has toured internationally and nationally playing leading roles in musicals, performing her award-winning cabaret shows and hosting shows and has been enjoyed by over 1 million people playing her comedy alter-ego – Jan van de Stool.

Queenie moves seamlessly from heartbreaking ballads to side-splitting comedy proving to be “an artist of extraordinary, rare and refreshing comic and musical talent, whose star could light the firmament on any world stage.” (The Canberra Times).

In DIVA, Queenie brings her exceptional talents to life, reinterpreting the timeless melodies of the world’s most beloved chanteuses. Immerse yourself in her unforgettable performance of songs made famous by legendary musical theatre divas such as Barbra Streisand and Patti LuPone, the soulful sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, and the gentle folk tunes of Eva Cassidy and Joni Mitchell.

DIVA is a celebration of these powerful songstresses, a performance filled with extraordinary music, hilarious banter and sensational singing by one of Australia’s finest vocalists.
