Ever the consummate professionals, despite wardrobe malfunctions & choreography mishaps, these vivacious blondes sizzle with saucy dialogue & heartfelt singing. Presented by Break The Ice Entertainment, Backstage With D & M features a medley of show tunes with some surprise numbers.
Dynamic acting duo Rachael Horbelt & Alex Schulze pay homage to the iconic blondes, taking some artistic liberties along the way to present a spellbinding cabaret voyage back to the 50s & beyond.

Shimmy up close & personal with Doris & Marilyn aboard this dazzling deep & meaningful journey on & off stage.
