Actress, DJ and TV personality Amanda Seales is making plenty of waves with her new show Death of the Diva: A One-Woman Musical Narrative, in which she challenges the over-the-top, one-dimensional portrayals of women in pop culture. Using incivise, biting humor (you know the kind that makes you laugh and think Dang that so true at the same time) and an array of personas, Seales strikes back at the images pushed by shows like Jersey Shore and Basketball Wives.
Seales website describes the show as "melding melody and monologue, this hilarious, thought provoking show calls out the cause and effect of the overwhelming number of negative images of women in today's media and gives rise to restoring the balance. Accompanied by a three-piece band, and video imagery, the show is dynamic and interactive compelling audiences to laugh, empathize, and nod their heads to the original musical numbers integrated throughout.
