Dubbed Bernadette Peters’ doppelgänger, award-winning performer Mia Gimenez makes her highly anticipated Australian stage debut at MELT 2025 with Almost Bernadette. More than a tribute to Broadway’s beloved icon ✦ this sparkling cabaret is a love letter to the songs, stories and spirit that shaped Mia’s artistry and inspired her signature identity, MiaSings.
If you missed Bernadette ✦ consider this your queerly reimagined encounter. From the poignant Move On to the sultry Fever and the iconic Losing My Mind, Peters’ classics are woven with personal stories of identity, resilience and transformation. Reviewers have called her performances “heartbreaking,” “stunning visually and vocally,” and “full-throated, passionate, and transformative.” Mia sings with wit, warmth and vulnerability ✦ blending the vocal mastery of her classical training with the intimacy and humour of cabaret. A proud queer artist and founder of the internationally recognised Gimenez Voice Academy ✦ she champions inclusion, authenticity and artistic courage, known for a gender-affirming, genre-blending approach to training voices of all ages and abilities. With stage credits from the Lyric Opera of Chicago to the Great American Music Hall, Mia now brings her sunny coastal charm and Broadway flair to Brisbane. If she’s the brushstroke ✦ I’m the smudge. |
