Racing and Madonna Tribute next

Posted August 13th 2010

Racegoers at Salisbury on Friday 20th August will be treated to an outstanding performance by the leading Madonna tribute, Melissa Totten. Originally from Fairfax, Virginia, Melissa was first approached in Chicago in the late 80’s and asked to do occasional lookalike work, such was her considerable resemblance to the ‘Queen of Pop’. Her story, since those days has been an incredible one, and she has performed all over the world. One Las Vegas columnist commented that: “Melissa’s voice bears a striking resemblance to the original, and perhaps most astonishing is that she looks like Madonna too”.

Melissa herself said of her impending visit to the Wiltshire racecourse: “I have performed in so many different places, from big cities in the States to more rural retreats in Asia. However, I have never performed at a racecourse and I am looking forward to the night. We have a great 90 minute show lined up, complete with a five piece band”.

Melissa recently appeared on the BBC’s The Weakest Link in a lookalikes special, where she finished second.

Jeremy Martin, Clerk of the Course and Executive Director said: “We are very much looking forward to Melissa Totten as Madonna to complement the excellent racing on 20th August”.
