CHilliwack — Prepare to be captivated by the enchanting performance of Songs for Nobodies, coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on October 5! Backed by a live three-piece band, this extraordinary one-woman tour-de-force musical takes you on an unforgettable journey through the lives of five everyday women whose lives were changed forever when they had the chance encounter with legendary music icons.
“The opportunity to bring (and sing!) this spectacularly written show to life has been nothing short of thrilling,” says actress Sheila Sharma. “With these captivating stories about five “ordinary” women who had close encounters with five dynamic women of fame, we take the audience on a journey that doesn’t stop for a single moment, from hilarity to heartbreak, and the rush of an enchanting glimpse into the past. Bringing the crowd to their feet night after night has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve ever had as a performer. How exciting to put this tour de force on stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre!”
From Judy Garland to Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf, and Maria Callas, these iconic singers are brought to life through the extraordinary talent of a single performer, who seamlessly shifts between characters, embodying both the “nobodies” and the musical legends. Songs for Nobodies tells the story about what happens when the stories of these singers touch those of their listeners.
