SOLID GOLD:
ARETHA, DIONNE, & WHITNEY

GMCLA’s Pride concert and gala celebrates three of the most legendary and iconic artists in music history as the 200-member Chorus performs 25 timeless hits by the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, music legend and HIV/AIDS activist Dionne Warwick, and the undisputed voice of a generation Whitney Houston.

Songs like “Respect,” “Freeway of Love,” “Chain of Fools,” “I Say a Little Prayer for You,” “I Will Always Love You,” “The Greatest Love of All,” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” have been the soundtrack of our lives. The show will also feature six dance production numbers and an unforgettable three-song medley with Priyanka and Latrice Royale, stars of Drag Race and HBO’s groundbreaking series We’re Here.

The Chorus will also be joined by the “Solid Gold Trio" (Summer Nicole Greer, Jenelle Lynn Randall, and Amber Wright) for several numbers. Solid Gold promises to be one of GMCLA’s most soulful, joyous, and moving shows ever!

FEATURING SPECIAL GUESTS

LATRICE ROYALE

Latrice Royale captured the hearts of the world and earned the title of Miss Congeniality on Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. She then went on to appear in other incarnations of the franchise, including multiple guest appearances on the show, RuPaul’s Drag U and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Seasons 1 & 4, and represented RuPaul’s Drag Race on Celebrity Family Feud. Currently, she is one of four hosts in the upcoming season of HBO’s Emmy-winning unscripted series We’re Here, debuting April 26 on HBO and Max.

PRIYANKA

What’s her name? Priyanka is a multi-hyphenated performer, musical artist, and international entertainer taking the world by storm. But that’s no surprise. From hosting as Mark “Suki” Suknanan on the legendary children’s network, YTV, to her iconic 2020 crowning as the first-ever winner of Canada’s Drag Race, Priyanka’s star power and charisma have always been obvious. Now, with her debut EP Taste Test hitting 15+ million streams, sold-out performances around the globe and becoming a host of Emmy Award winning HBO show We’re Here, the big question isn’t “what’s next,” it’s what isn’t?
