MAD ABOUT MADONNA: She looks like Madonna and dresses like Madonna. But she’s not the Material Girl. Meet Melissa Totten (in picture), Madonna impersonator, making a stop in Calcutta on Saturday as part of her ‘Madonna Forever Tour’ presented by Black Dog in association with t2. After touring six cities in India — Guwahati, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Goa and Gurgaon — this American girl living in the UK will be belting out Madonna hits like Hard Candy, Like A Virgin, Dance Floor, True Blue, Confessions On A Dance Floor, Bedtime Stories, Something to Remember and more for the Calcutta leg. And if it’s Madonna, there’s got to be dance too! Melissa will be accompanied by her troupe of seven dancers to swing things up at the Topaz banquet in Hotel Hindustan International on August 25, 7.30 pm.
