NITE Born This Way!
l Local performer and Lady Gaga impersonator, Donna Marie Trego, will be back at St David’s Hall after playing to more than 1,000 people last June. Donna has been making
a big name for herself in the entertainment world, with award-winning gigs impersonating Gaga all over the world – from Bahrain to Sydney and Germany to the USA.
It’s very rare that you get
a tribute act that looks and sounds exactly like the real thing – Cardiff International Arena claimed she gave the real Gaga a run for her money.
And when Gaga herself
played in Belfast last year Donna Marie showed up and completely stole her thunder, with onlookers claiming she was better than the real thing. The Lady Gaga Experience
is very different to other tribute shows. With up to nine costume changes, it’s as much a fashion show as it is a live performance tribute to ‘the Gaga’. The Lady Gaga Experience
will return to Cardiff’s St David’s Hall with a brand new show in June 2012 with some classic Gaga songs and costumes including that famous spark bra.

// Award winning company, Ballet Cymru, presents an extraordinary adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece The Tempest at The Riverfront on June 20.
