Simply Ariana

Welcome to SIMPLY ARIANA , an all-singing, all-dancing show bringing you the closest thing to a real Ariana concert! This show has been created by the team behind LITTLE MIX MAGIC to meet the growing demand for quality tribute acts covering modern performers still dominating the charts.

Ariana Grande is a sitcom-star-turned-bona fide pop star music sensation, known for hit songs such as “Problem”, “Bang Bang” and “Dangerous Woman”. Ariana began performing onstage as a child and after several roles on Broadway and TV she dove headfirst into a chart-topping musical career. She has released three hit albums and her popularity has been fuelled by a strong social media presence on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Simply Ariana is fronted by the amazing Gemma Lamont who trained at Motherwell College for three years leaving with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree. She has worked professionally for two years as a dancer, working as both a choreographer and a famous Scottish Rockette. Gemma is also trained in the Estill Voice System giving her the correct technical training needed to hit Ariana’s impressive high notes. She has worked extremely hard to mimic not only Ariana’s vocal capabilities, but also her physicality, choreography and American accent.

The show itself comes performed in two 30 minute sets with a quick break in between for a costume change. All shows come with a meet and greet as standard where kids and big kids can pose for a picture with Ariana and have posters and t-shirts purchased at our merchandise stall. All shows also come with two professional backing dancers making the full production feel like a real concert at a fraction of the price for parents!

You will not find a tribute more accurate for staging, costumes, vocals andchoreography! Simply Ariana is Simply Amazing!

Glasgow based Nicola Duffy had been dancing, singing and performing since a very young age, to the point where even the careers advisors in school knew better than to suggest a “normal” job for her. After spending her childhood years training in some of the country’s best dance schools she was awarded a scholarship to attend the famous New York Film Academy. Most 18 year olds would’ve found a move to the busiest city in the world daunting but she took it all in her stride and on her return went straight into a musical theatre honours degree. Throughout this time in higher education she was also gaining valuable performance experience in teaching, acting jobs, singing in a Girls Aloud tribute act, dancing and choreographing for the Scottish Rockettes amongst other things. She graduated with not only her Honours degree but also the idea for starting her own business on her own terms.

In 2017 Little Mix Magic was born, and despite having no management experience, Nicola knew she could utilise her performance skills honed over the last 10 years to create a successful tribute band. It soon became apparent there was a real market for a kid friendly, family orientated tribute show and almost a year after launching Little Mix Magic, Simply Ariana was born. In the years that followed both acts could be seen on a Scottish tour, then a UK wide theatre tour, performing to thousands of people across the country. Clients and bookers were impressed with the attention to detail in the costumes, choreography and the manner in which the performers interacted with their younger audience members.
‍
Even with two hugely successful tribute bands under her belt Nicola decided she still wasn’t busy enough and completed her girl power line up with Scotland’s first tribute to the Spice Girls. These three acts have now been brought together under the Pulse Productions umbrella with an aim to deliver high quality tribute acts that don’t cut corners and bring you or your client the very best show possible.

The company is delighted to have had their shows perform in some of the UK’s biggest venues and with some huge companies and brands. Director Nicola is incredibly proud to work with some of Scotland’s top performers and is eternally grateful to be her own boss, doing what she loves. Who knows what the future will bring for Pulse Productions but we’re sure it’ll include top talent and amazing entertainment across the board.
