Clarke Presents “Dining with Divas” at Hotel Julien

By Clarke News  |  February 10, 2025

One of Clarke University’s most popular events, Musical Menus is taking glamour to the next level with a one-night-only performance of “Dining with Divas” at Dubuque’s elegant Hotel Julien on Friday, March 28. The cabaret-style program will begin at 6 p.m. in the Grande Ballroom and includes a three-course meal with the purchase of a ticket.   

Under the artistic direction of Rebecca Lansing, Adjunct Instructor of Voice, the evening celebrates iconic divas through dynamic roles and music. Performances will include selections made famous by Beyonce, Dolly Parton, Freddie Mercury, and Tina Turner, as well as opera and Broadway showstoppers from Spamalot, Aida, Candide, and Chicago. 

The event will feature student soloists, the Collegiate and Melos Singers, and appearances from faculty. Additionally, several alumni are scheduled to take part, including Megan Gloss ’03, Brenna Burgart ’17, Parker Ostrander ’23, Callie (Mescher) FitzGerald ’07, and the DZ Combo, a jazz quartet including Ben Drury ’10, Danny Zanger ’22, Dan McNamara’12, and Jeremy Jones.

“The Hotel Julien will provide a new and glamourous venue for this year’s event,” Rebecca said. “Every seat will be in full view of the stage, so audience members can enjoy both the hotel’s delicious menu and our performer’s interpretations of favorite Diva hits.” 

To ensure an intimate and spectacular view for every guest, tables for eight will seat just six people, with no rear-facing seats. Priority seating, including front row options, is $100 and standard seating is $60 a seat. Purchase tickets and find additional event information at clarke.edu/musicalmenus.
