The talented cast of Chez Gisele is having an avalanche of fun rehearsing the script and creating choreography. "Mais oui, monsieur!" “There's something big about you and it isn't your nose” -Gisele Carriton.
Stephanie Broussard as Gisele.
The lovely Gigi (Stephanie Broussard) is fantastic with her French accent
and embodies the real life and unconditionally loving spirit of the late Gisele Carriton. The handsome Clarence (Jack Robertson) is so cute that gay boys get weak in the knees and fall off their bar stools.
Miss Doo (John Vincent) is the sharp tongued leader of the snarling, hissing drag queens: Miss Marie (Blaine Peltier), Miss Fancy Fontenot (Gavin Willis) and SoFonda Peters (Sasha St. Julien). Miss Doo (John Vincent) is also the creative choreographer of the exciting dance routines.
Miss Hannah (Pat Cravins) stirrs spice piquant into the Chez Gisele story with her gifted prediction of the future as a Creole voyante hoodoo woman.
The Reverend (John Bess) gives a fantastic lively performance as a gay holy roller preacher that infectiously spreads the Holy Spirit that could make a dead man dance and shout. Mucky Racker (Micheal Moity) is slinging mud and trash about Gigi faster than a speeding bullet.
The colorful 60s and 70s costumes are designed by master costumer designer James Hamby. Chez Gisele is expertly directed by Christy Leichty (Les Marionettes), and opens May 27 for 11 performances ending June 12. Tickets are available at Cite Des Arts (337-291-1122) or online at www.citedesarts.org.
