Yes, those divine divas are back! Such is the magic of gorgeous hair, fabulous frocks, great legs and Estee Lauder!

In the multi-award-winning wake of the documentary The Fabulous Flag Sisters*, Mauro Bronchi (Dorothy) and Neil Hansen (Petula) have revived their much-loved act for today's audiences, with Ronnie van den Bergh joining the trio as 'Glenda' (filling the celebrated stilettos of the late Tito Le Duc).

Their 'revival' show Flyin' High premiered at Victoria Hall (Fremantle, Australia) in May 2009, then toured to Melbourne, before a triumphant return to Italy, with performances in Spoleto and Siracusa and on Rai Uno (Carlo Conti's I Migliori Anni).

Posted above is a small selection of images from 2009 performances by The Flag Sisters [Le Sorelle Bandiera] in Italy and Australia.
