Songs for Nobodies

7 July to 4 August, Circa Theatre Wellington A one-woman tour de force starring award-winning New Zealand actor Ali Harper shares the stories of five everyday women – a lavatory attendant, theatre usher, librarian, journalist and nanny – whose lives have been irrevocably touched by an encounter with one of five legendary divas – Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday and Maria Callas. When a great diva sings her voice makes connections with the crowd and life- changing moments can materialize. The show is interspersed with a raft of iconic songs from the 1950s. circa.co.nz
