Sébastien Roy brings to Divers/Cité a major treat featuring Miss Butterfly and a multitude of singers, dancers and circus performers… in honour of Montreal’s gay nightlife.

She’s the charismatic Queen of Clubland with the trademark power pipes and a musical repertoire that’ll put any aspiring songstress to shame. The classically trained vocalist is responsible for some of the top-selling hits of the ’80s and ‘90s (Black Box’s Everybody Everybody, C+C Music Factory’s Gonna Make You Sweat). But she needs no introduction here, as the Montreal darling swept Divers/Cité off its feet a few years back when she wielded her diva magic…with a few raindrops coming down as she performed her camp classic It’s Raining Men!
