What is a Broadway Diva? There are many attributes that define “Diva,” and we will discuss them all with clips of the multi-talented, larger-than-life divas of Broadway. Watch and dissect some of the performances of some of the most famous divas, with a focus on Patti LuPone, Glenn Close, Mary Martin, and Carol Channing, among others. Led by musical and film historians Sam and Candy Caponegro, who are passionate about music and movies. For over thirty years, they have acted, directed, and produced professional, community, and school theater. Candy’s most notable professional acting roles are Adelaine opposite Nathan Lane in Guys and Dolls and Cheri opposite Divine in the New York production of Women Behind Bars.
