Sunnyside’s Got Talent.
Thalia Spanish Theatre hosts Divas de España from Friday, Oct. 18, to Sunday, Oct. 27.
Inma Heredia rocks this solo show which mixes comedy with music and dance while paying homage to four transcendent artists who were born in Spain, but achieved international success.
Speaking English, but singing in Spanish, Heredia will channel the following: Sara Montiel, whose career began in the 1940s and included almost 50 films and 500 songs; Charo, the flamboyant coquette who conquered the English-speaking entertainment world in the 1960s; tour de force Loyal Flores; and Rocío Jurado, a classic chanteuse.
Tickets cost $40 with special group rates. The four 8 pm shows are on Oct. 18, 19, 25, and 26. The two 4 pm shows are on Oct. 20 and 27.
Born in Sevilla, Heredia is known as the “world’s only Flamenco stand-up comedian.” She’s performed all over the world and won ACE, HOLA, and ATI awards. She wrote Divas de España, which she dedicated to deceased director Adolfo Vazquez.
Located at 41-17 Greenpoint Ave. in Sunnyside, Thalía’s performance space has about 75 seats.
