Diva Showstoppers !!

The Friars Club presented a sold out musical evening produced and hosted by Friar Randie Levine-Miller called DIVA SHOWSTOPPERS!! on Monday September 12, 2011. Lisa Lampanelli made her singing debut and Barbara Minkus stepped in for Friar Julie Budd. The marvelous evening with musical direction by Paul Chamlin also featured Carolyn Amaradio, Angela Bacari, Christina Bianco, Karen Oberlin, Jill O’Hara, and Nicholas King, the only male on the bill with these extraordinary ladies. A highlight of this special musical evening was Jill O’Hara, the original star of PROMISES PROMISES, performing several of her show stopping songs from that show.
