She's not the real Kylie, but she's 100% 

Published on 21 September, 2005 

Ms Lucy Holmes, star of the internationally acclaimed Kylie Minogue tribute show ‘100% Kylie’, will soon be back in Mackay to perform at her old training ground - the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

Lucy, who studied music and music theatre at the CQCM, has been performing with ‘100% Kylie’ for the past 3 years in a Kylie Minogue tribute show that is in huge demand across the country and internationally – largely due to Lucy’s uncanny resemblance to the real Kylie.

PhotoID:2440 From a young age Lucy Holmes received comments that she looked a lot like Kylie Minogue, however it’s only in recent years that Lucy has been making a living from impersonating one of Australia’s most famous musical exports.

Quotes abound and people everywhere are amazed by Lucy’s resemblance to Kylie, both physically and vocally.

"She looks like Kylie, she sounds like Kylie and she even dresses like Kylie!" Ray Martin, A Current Affair, Channel 9, Australia.

"Fans are amazed by the physical and vocal similarities!" QLD's Ipswich Newspaper.

To help create the total ‘Kylie’ effect, Lucy’s tribute show is choreographed by Melbourne choreographer Mitchell Bartlett who has worked extensively with the real Kylie Minogue, and the dance team includes a couple of Kylie’s ex-dancers. Replica costumes complete the show and the total effect is “100% Kylie".

Judith Brown, sub-dean of the CQCM, remembers Lucy Holmes as a student just 4 years ago.

“As a student of the CQCM, Lucy was constantly receiving comments about her resemblance to Kylie Minogue”, said Judith. “We expected Lucy to go on to do amazing things with her talent, and what better way to showcase all of her talents than with a show like 100% Kylie".

PhotoID:2441 “We are thrilled that Lucy agreed to bring her show to Mackay and are expecting a huge rush on tickets,” said Judith.

‘100% Kylie’ will perform at the CQCM Theatre, Boundary Road, Mackay on Saturday October 8 for one show only.

Just like a real Kylie concert it’s sure to be a sell-out, so get your tickets fast!. For tickets and information phone 4940 7800.
