After a spectacular debut at the Airlie Beach Hotel last year, The Australian Shania Twain Show is making its much-anticipated return and just in time for Mother's Day.
The powerhouse behind the show, Ally Friendship, said she can’t wait to bring the fun back to the Whitsundays, promising a night full of singing, dancing, crowd participation, and a few special surprises.
"We are absolutely excited to be coming back," Ally said.
“We had so much fun last time and, because this one is a Mother's Day Special, there's hopefully going to be a lot more involvement. People bring your mums out, and we've got some beautiful little gifts to hand out during the show this time.”
Ally’s tribute to Shania Twain first took shape in 2020, born during the COVID lockdowns. After coming out of the first lockdown, Ally and her band sold out their very first performance and she said it was amazing.
Ally has been in the music industry for some time, and she was always asked if she would do a Shania Twain tribute, but always refused, saying she loved the superstar idol too much!
But it seems the pull to Shania Twain was too strong, because now Ally and her band have been performing the tribute for five years.
The show quickly became a success, not only for Ally’s striking resemblance and vocals but also because of the heart and connection shared with her band, particularly her two backing singers. Their bond adds a powerful depth to performances, especially during emotional songs like ‘From This Moment’.
Fans attending the show can expect a night packed with hits like ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman’, heartfelt moments, and lots of audience participation with Ally often jumping off stage to chat and dance with the crowd.
"We get everyone involved, last time we were there, we even brought a few young girls on stage to sing. We might get some mums up this time,” said Ally.
And as for the secret gifts? While Ally is keeping most of the details under wraps, she hinted at a touching tradition that she has done in the past but never before in Airlie Beach.
Ally said the show is perfect for celebrating Mother's Day and encouraged locals and visitors alike to come along.
The Shania Twain tribute show will perform at the Airlie Beach Hotel on Mother's Day weekend. Get ready to grab your cowboy hat, dust off your leopard print, join in the fun and as Ally says "Let's go, girls!"
