Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles presents the final concert of Season 46, “Dancing Queens,” on June 21-22 at 3:30 p.m. at the historic Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills.

The musical tribute, in celebration of Pride Month, will feature over 20 iconic songs spanning every genre, performed by GMCLA’s 200-member chorus. The electrifying evening, conducted by GMCLA’s music director and conductor Ernest H. Harrison and choreographed by Ray Leeper, features special guest artists – dance-music diva and super-ally Kristine W and Emmy-winning writer, legendary performer and advocate Bruce Vilanch.

“Dancing Queens” is an “eleganza extravaganza,” as GMCLA’s singers perform the most iconic dance melodies of every genre – from “Carmina Burana” to “Singin’ in the Rain,” “The King and I,” “My Fair Lady,” “Hairspray” and “The Producers,” to Lionel Ritchie, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Bee Gees, Luther Vandross, ABBA, Earth Wind and Fire, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa and of course, Donna Summer.

“With music that we’ve danced to, from the stage to the club, ‘Dancing Queens’ is a perfect way to end the season and herald the beginning of summer,” said executive director and producer Lou Spisto. “These glorious melodies we know and love, lifted by over 200 voices and our dancers, will surely have our audience dancing in the aisles. I’m thrilled that Kristine W, one of the top selling dance club music artists of all time, and Bruce Vilanch, Broadway star and legendary voice for our community, are both joining us to bring something truly wonderful to GMCLA’s truly over-the-top Pride Celebration.”

The Pride concert “Dancing Queens” will be on Saturday, June 21 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 22 at 3:30 p.m. at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, 8440 Wilshire Blvd. Single tickets range from $45-$125 and are now available online at gmcla.org.
