ST KILDA, VIC. — If Shirley Bassey and Liza Minnelli gave birth to a bold, brassy twink, Will Skarpona would come tap-dancing out of that womb.
Big Diva Energy is an unapologetically camp, delightfully authentic musical cabaret—a love letter to the world’s most celebrated divas, featuring iconic hits from Madonna to Chappell Roan.
Expect belt-it-to-the-back-row vocals, unhinged confessionals, and more sequins than a Real Housewives reunion. Crack open the Grey Goose—you’re in for one very entertaining night.
Big Diva Energy explores what it means to live authentically in a world that demands conformity. Equal parts glitter and grit, this is a celebration of resilience, self-expression, and owning your spotlight.
Born in Wollongong, Will (he/him) is a performer, creative and presenter who is a graduate of the esteemed Victorian College of the Arts and the NSW Talent Development Project.
Will is the recipient of the 2026 Dobell Foundation Cabaret Award.
In the last year, Will appeared in The Australian Ballet’s production of Romeo and Juliet; he also played The Wolf/Mysterious Man in Into the Woods and Robert in The Drowsy Chaperone. Will’s charismatic stage presence has taken him beyond musical theatre, as the Host/MC of major theatrical events, including the NSW Seniors Christmas Concerts, Southern Stars, the Arena Spectacular and as a Co-Host of the nationally televised 2022 Schools Spectacular. He is thrilled to be making his Melbourne Fringe debut with this fabulous show.
This project has been Fringe Funded, with support from the Ron and Marg Dobell Foundation.
