Diana Ross: A Lyric Opera House Tribute to a Music Legend

Roz Thomas brings Diana Ross to life on stage in the award-winning Legends In Concert production, captivating audiences with her striking resemblance and electrifying performance. The talented singer embodies every aspect of Ms. Ross's essence, from her distinctive sexy voice to dynamic charisma.

Throughout the show, Roz effortlessly tackled high-energy numbers like 'Missing You,' a song dedicated to her close friend Marvin Gaye, with ease. However, on snappier tunes, it was clear that Ross's mouth wasn't always moving in sync with her impressive vocals.

The performance at LEGENDS IN CONCERT MYRTLE BEACH featured many of Ms. Ross's solo hits, including the boogie-infused 'Upside Down' and a playful rendition of Frankie Lymon's 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love.' While these songs showcased Roz's impressive vocal range, it was undeniable that her live vocals were often overshadowed by pre-recorded tracks.

As the focal point of The Supremes, Ms. Ross's absence from the stage left a void that Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard's harmonies could never fully fill. This became particularly apparent during performances of 'Baby Love,' 'Can't Hurry Love,' 'Stop! In the Name of Love,' and 'You Keep Me Hangin' On.' The 12-piece backing band, while energetic, often drowned out the lyrics, foreshadowing sound issues that would plague the rest of the evening.

The show began with Roz opening her 90-minute set with the title track from her current album, Take Me Higher, before segueing into an expected Supremes medley. With her stunning vocal range and captivating stage presence, it's no wonder why audiences can't help but be electrified by this tribute to Ms. Ross.
