About The Divine Donna M

I am a Bette Midler impersonator with 23 years experience. I am usually hired as a soloist and my show features: music, comedy, audience participation, game with prizes, mix/mingle and can include custom material about a guest of honor. I also offer a cabaret show with a band, backup singers, or a full scale production that can include professional sound and lighting. My show works well for intimate gatherings as well as large showcases. For more information, photos, video and audio samples, client testimonials and much more, visit my website: www.donnamaxon.com.
