Dorothy Bishop is an American variety entertainer, singer and comedienne from New York City who is best known for her musical parodies of Sarah Palin.〔()〕 She was born in Atlanta, United States, and received her undergraduate degree from the Yale School of Music. She earned her Master of Music degree from Converse College. Her Off-Broadway credits include "The Sarah Palin Musical Spectacular" and "The Sarah Palin Election Day Spectacular" at the Laurie Beechman Theater in New York City. Bishop is also known for her video parodies including "Going Rogue" and "The Ballad of Sarah Palin" with Lady Bunny. She also is known for her cheeky classical crossover show "Viva la Diva," in which she celebrates the world's most beloved divas, from opera to pop. The 2008 debut of "Viva la Diva" at New York's Zipper Theater won a positive review from ''Gay City News'': "One could almost imagine Bishop as the artistic love child of Eleanor Steber and Bette Midler conceived at the Continental Baths sometime between either diva's appearance there in the early '70s.... Vocally, the 'poperatic' soprano is able to sing scat, belt, and go from chesty growling to high coloratura, jumping registers and genres with the facility of the late Evel Knievel vaulting a pyre of burning cars."〔()〕 Bishop has a classical background in opera and toured with Faye Dunaway in the first Broadway national tour of Terrence McNally's Tony Award winning play, ''Master Class''. She has performed in such renowned New York venues as Carnegie Hall, Joe's Pub, Zipper Theatre and Town Hall. Bishop was a nationally televised finalist on the fourth season of ''America's Got Talent'' on NBC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dorothybishop.com )〕 She was a co-presenter for the hookies with Leslie Jordan, and has been a guest on the ''Robin Byrd Show''. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothy Bishop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
