Direct from playing the lead role of “Fanny Brice” to critical acclaim in the first ever production of Funny Girl in Paris, internationally acclaimed New York singer, actress and impressionist, Christina Bianco heads to Johannesburg this Easter to perform for the first time at Montecasino’s Teatro for two shows only.
Me, Myself & Everyone Else is a highly entertaining solo show of great songs, musical comedy and impressions of pop culture personalities and iconic vocalists such as Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Dolly Parton and Britney Spears. Popular local singer, actor and award-winning musical theatre performer, Craig Urbani, currently on stage at The Teatro playing the leading role of Dr Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Show joins Christina Bianco as special guest artiste. Multi award-winning arranger and music director, Bryan Schimmel will conduct the live 9-piece band featuring top SA musicians.
Christina Bianco is known locally for her sterling appearances at select prestigious corporate events but possibly more so for her 2017 performances at Cape Town’s Gate 69. Brought back to South Africa by Cape Town born Creative Director and Producer, David Bloch of David Bloch International, Christina is delighted to be returning to this country making her Johannesburg debut at Montecasino.
