A humorous musical cabaret show about the road to success. From glitter dresses on the cruise ship stage to worn-out, crackling sound systems in football canteens during bingo: the cheerful gig queen Milène takes you behind the scenes of the artist’s life. Full of self-deprecation, she effortlessly switches from tearjerker to power ballad, from pop anthem to chanson.
With the voice of Céline Dion, the energy of Dolly Parton, and the vulnerability of Claudia de Breij, she discusses and sings about our yearning for success. Will this “Gig Queen” remain forever condemned to singing other people’s hits? Or is it precisely her own sensitive songs that manage to touch hearts?
