Sporting different hairstyles and extravagant outfits each time, Mychol Ormandy, as his alter ego Toni Lester Van Blam, performed three of Cher’s greatest hits at the Jasper Legion, Nov. 30.
The drag diva had the whole crowd cheering as she enacted A Song for the Lonely, Believe and If I Could Turn Back Time.
The performance was part of the Jasper Pride Festival Society’s first fundraiser, titled Diva-Licious.
Van Blam’s Cher-themed stage show was a nod to the ultimate diva, who will be performing in Edmonton June 23. As part of the fundraiser, the society had two tickets to the show, along with a night at the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald, on the silent auction table. At the end of the night, the winning bid was $960.
All of the funds from the event, which also included performances by Edmonton’s Ginger Schnapps, will go toward the fifth annual Jasper Pride Weekend, March 21-23.
