Dr Patti Boulaye is bringing her one-woman show 'Diana & Me' to The Princess Theatre this summer.
The performance, which takes place on July 27, explores her personal journey and honours the music of Diana Ross.
Ms Boulaye, who is a Visiting Teaching Fellow at Middlesex University, also holds an OBE for her contributions to charities in West Africa and the UK.
The show intertwines her own professional challenges and accomplishments with that of Diana Ross.
It includes musical renditions of the musical icon's best-selling songs like "Stop! In the Name of Love", "You Can’t Hurry Love", "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough" and "Baby Love".
Diana Ross, who boasts a stellar career with 12 top ten singles, six number ones, and over 100 million record sales, is a fitting comparison for Dr Boulaye's renowned career.
Notably, Dr Boulaye's cinematic credits include "Music Machine", dubbed Britain's response to "Saturday Night Fever", and "Hussy", in which she appeared alongside Helen Mirren.
The performer was also the African face of Lux for an impressive 29 years and starred in "Bisi".
Tickets for 'Diana & Me' at The Princess Theatre go on sale on April 24 at 10am, costing £21.
