PALOS HILLS, IL -- Don’t sit alone in your room, come out to the Moraine Valley Fine and Performing Arts Center’s cabaret series, old chum. Journey through the careers of iconic women in music at “Deconstructing the Diva” Sunday, March 24.

Featuring KT McCammond with Beckie Menzie at the piano and Irwin Berkowitz on percussion, the show takes the audience through the evolution of the diva from opera to the Grammys, and through the musical signatures and colorful careers of the iconic women who helped define the diva: Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Tina Turner, Amy Winehouse, and more.

Chicago Tribune arts writer Howard Reich said McCammond is a “cabaret singer with plenty of voice and even more attitude and tends to fill any room with brass, sass and smarts.”
