(PRWEB) January 29, 2005 -- Veronica Klaus is a San Francisco performance icon. Since 1989 she has been a featured artist in Concerts, Theatre and Cabarets. While this, combined with her glamorous personae would be enough, there is the added detail of her transformation from Midwestern small-town schoolboy to Bay Area Diva. A personal revolution from husky" boy to voluptuous" Chanteuse; is a story worth telling.

A world premiere production, Family Jewels will be the comprehensive account of Veronicas life adventure. Largely untold until now, the performance will use story and song to illustrate the humor, passion and human drama of her unique story.

The music will be selections of original pieces, written by Veronica and various covers of songs that augment the aspects of the material at hand. The music and monologues will be woven together, giving the play an emotionally layered" effect.
