Dubbed Bernadette Peters’ doppelgänger, award-winning performer Mia Gimenez brings Almost Bernadette to the stage in this sparkling cabaret, a love letter to the songs, stories, and spirit that shaped Mia’s artistry and inspired her signature identity, MiaSings.
Inspired by Sondheim’s muse and queerly reimagined through Mia’s own journey, Almost Bernadette weaves together songs like the poignant Move On, the sultry Fever, and the iconic Losing My Mind with personal stories of identity, resilience, and transformation. Reviewers have called Mia’s 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 humor of cabaret. A proud queer artist and founder of the internationally recognized Gimenez Voice Academy, she champions inclusion, authenticity, and artistic courage, known for a gender-affirming and genre-blending approach to training voices of all ages and abilities. With stage credits ranging from the Lyric Opera of Chicago to the Great American Music Hall, Mia brings Broadway flair, storytelling, and a little glorious smudging wherever she lands. Mia now brings Broadway flair, storytelling, and a little glorious smudging home to Iowa. If she’s the brushstroke ✦ I’m the smudge. |
