Jackie Goes Prima Diva
Saturday, May 31st 7.30pm. . Motueka Memorial Hall
Jackie Clarke returns to Motueka with her one-woman show. She was here in 2023 – her popularity meant we had to take the concert to the Memorial Hall, and she brought the roof down. It is all happening again in 2025 with a brand new show.
Homegrown chanteuse Jackie Clarke turns her powerhouse vocals, wicked humour and maverick entertainment style to the songs of the 20th and 21st Centuries most legendary divas. Ms Clarke pays homage to Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey, Nina Simone, Peggy Lee, Streisand and more! From Alison Durbin to Dolly Parton, from Kate Bush to Gaga, Jackie lets her diva flag fly, while playfully engaging the audience with her trademark witty panache.
Accompanied by the splendid Karl Benton on piano (Ardijah, Che Fu, Annie Crummer), expect iconic songs performed with tender soul and gleeful virtuosity in an intimate cabaret setting.
Jackie was awarded an MNZM for services to entertainment (2018) and the Variety Artists life time achievement award The Benny (2024). She has lived 40 years in theatre, (Mamma Mia, Shirley Valentine) music (When The Cat’s Been Spayed, The Lady Killers) and TV (NZ Idol, The Semisis).
Don’t miss this rollicking show of bravura song styling, dazzling frockage, pin-drop moments and plenty of laughs.
