The Savoy Theatre is proud to present ISLAND GIRLS, Music and Comedy, featuring four of Cape Breton’s busiest female performers: BETTE MACDONALD, HEATHER RANKIN, LUCY MACNEIL AND JENN SHEPPARD.
The Fem Four – each representing a different facet of our island’s entertainment community – are set to combine their individual musical and comedic talents in order to take audiences on a journey to celebrate all things Cape Breton. Show-goers can expect to enjoy some belly laughs while they catch up with a few familiar characters, sing along with some old favourites and maybe even hear some new ones.
Bette MacDonald says there’s already a fantastic vibe around the performers, “Individually, we’ve clocked quite a few hours onstage but this is the first time that we four will do a show together. I know these women and we’re in for a full on giant house party in our favourite house, the Savoy Theatre! The fun factor will be off the charts with this show…. for the audience and for us!”
Savoy Theatre Manager, Pam Leader, says the show been in the works for a while, “We couldn’t wait to announce this show!! These ladies are all very busy, so it was a lucky break to be able to land all four of them at once. With this combination of people, you’ll get everything from power house vocals to side-splitting comedy. And we have a stellar house band, too.”
The quartette will be backed by musicians Stephen Muise, Fred Lavery, Brian Talbot, Emily Dingwall, Richard Burke and Colin Grant.
