A live vocal tribute to Celine Dion is heading to the West End this June, and it is all coming back – live vocals, glitter, and one queen centre stage. Moira Less brings My Heart Will Go On: A Drag Celebration of Celine Dion to Seven Dials Playhouse for two nights only, forming part of the venue’s Pride Season programme.
While there are plenty of drag tribute shows in circulation, few offer live renditions of such technically demanding material
Moira Less will deliver the full force of Dion’s discography with her own voice, covering chart-toppers including It’s All Coming Back to Me Now, The Power of Love and, of course, the Titanic ballad My Heart Will Go On.
The show is pitched as more than a tribute and more than a drag act. Audiences can expect “pure vocal talent” rather than camp parody or impersonation. Moira Less, whose name is already on the radar after winning The Crown in 2022, appearing as a Pride’s Got Talent finalist in 2023, and reaching the Drag Idol semi-finals in 2024, will front the evening solo. Her credits confirm a background in live singing and theatrical performance, positioning this as a hybrid cabaret-concert with drag at its centre.
Seven Dials Playhouse, which continues to position itself as a hub for contemporary and queer performance, is hosting the production as part of its Pride Season. The venue sits just off Shaftesbury Avenue and has become known for showcasing fringe-scale work that doesn’t shy away from identity-led storytelling.
Described as a night of “drag excellence and vocal expertise,” the performance promises to blend comedy, charisma and vocal range. While there are plenty of drag tribute shows in circulation, few offer live renditions of such technically demanding material. Dion’s hits are famously difficult to deliver without studio production – yet Moira Less is taking them on in real time, from a London stage.
Whether that draws in loyal Celine Dion fans or the late-night cabaret crowd, this production is positioning itself for both. There’s no indication of a wider tour or additional dates, so this two-night run may be the only chance to catch it.
My Heart Will Go On: A Drag Celebration of Celine Dion runs 19 and 20 June at Seven Dials Playhouse, London. Tickets available via the venue website or box office.
