Nevada Gay Men’s Chorus presents
a spectacular spring show:
Gender Blender Hit Song Mania:
A Cabaret Review
FRIDAY JUNE 14, 2024
7:30 PM
NEW VENUE: Limited Seating!
RENO LITTLE THEATER
147 E. Pueblo Street
Reno, NV 89502
Reno (NV) – HITS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER . . .
The Nevada Gay Men’s Chorus and Friends are ready for some gender-”switching” in this cabaret-style hit song review. Some of our male members have been longing to belt out The Pointer Sisters’ I’m So Excited and Madonna’s Material Girl, while our female soloists and invited friends bend towards Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights. Whether it’s Donna Summers’ Last Dance or George Michaels Careless Whisper, we’ll have hits galore, voices that will exhilarate, and an evening of gender-blender hit songs.
At Reno Little Theater, we have set aside the thrusts on either side of the stage for “Special Reserved VIP Seating” which will make the audience who purchase those tickets part of the performance, immersed in the excitement and flash of the show itself. What fun! Seating is limited and we anticipate this cabaret review to sell out fast.
