With several suitcases full of wigs, feathers and costumes, celebrity impersonator Bonnie Kilroe can Wbecome, well, just about anyone.

From Patsy Cline to Carmen Miranda to Marilyn Monroe to Mae West, Kilroe is part Vaudevillian comic, part torch singer and part sexy siren all packed into a parade of parody.

In May, she entertained Chilliwackians with her Tribute to Patsy Cline for Mother's Day and promised the attentive audience she would be back with her big Vegas show. She kept true to her word and on Sept. 24 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, Kilroe presents "DIVAS: Vegas meets Vaudeville."

Kilroe is a musical-comedy-celebrity impersonator and in her two-hour musicalcomedy rollercoaster, she showcases 14 celebrities from long ago to the present day.

Kilroe transforms herself into classics like Marilyn Monroe, everlasting living legends like Cher, and the very current Lady Gaga. Even Sarah Palin makes a comic appearance.

The show involves frequent audience participation and never fails to entertain and engage the audience. With oneminute costume changes, Kilroe's show may make your head spin.

Kilroe's act of celebrity impostors has taken Bonnie aboard cruise ships from Alaska to Antarctica, and to casinos across North America. She was inducted into the Merritt Mountain Music Festival walk of fame in the 2003 Laugh-A-Fair. For more on Kilroe visit www.celebrityimposters.com.
