Jimmy James sparkles on stage as he does impersonations of Diva legends such as Patsy Cline, Judy Garland, Cher, Macy Gray, Bette Davis … the list could go on for the rest of the page. Jimmy's reputation preceded him with his infamous Marilyn and Voices world tour, and throughout his singing performance Jimmy shows footage spanning the last 2 decades of himself performing as Marilyn, looking just as stunning as Marilyn. He explains to the audience that he felt he'd 'done' Marilyn longer than Marilyn, so was now putting his attentions on the show as a whole rather than as a tribute to one woman and as I closed my eyes I could have sworn it was Tina Turner on stage. And then I opened them and we had Jimmy. His rapport with the audience was terrific.
