On Sunday, August 18th, I attended A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel at Theatre at the Center. The concert was presented by Al Swearingen & Jayne Kelli, a married couple currently living in Nashville.
This is Monster Jam! Our favorite trucks, Grave Digger (Winston), El Toro Loco (Me) and ANY girl driver (Maeve) put on an amazing show for us. The evening was filled with tons of energy.
A Reba McEntire Tribute, starring Corrie Sachs, was a hit at Theatre at the Center on Sunday, July 14.
A standing ovation followed The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute at the Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster on Friday, June 28, starring Mike Fornes, who took the audience back to the 1960s through the 1980s.
If you do a Google search for American English, you will read that they are the undisputed best Beatles tribute band in the land. I have to agree with that. If I were to compare them to the musicians playing the Beatles in the touring musical Rain, I would definitely give my vote to American English!
All the Elton John fans really enjoyed the Elton Jeff & the Honky Cats concert at Theatre at the Center. I enjoy Elton John’s music in small doses so even though the costumes were sparkly and the music upbeat, it was a bit much for me.
The band Gone to Paradise pays tribute to Jimmy Buffet and his Coral Reefer Band, clearly embracing the laid-back island vibe! As a Parrothead from way back, I can honestly say that their concert at Theatre at the Center was almost as much fun as an actual Jimmy Buffet concert – and I saw many of those!
Although it’s not my favorite sound, I did enjoy Midwest Big Band presents “The Sounds of Sinatra and the Unforgettable Ladies of Song” at Theatre at the Center. My friend Helen, on the other hand, absolutely loved the show.
**** Highly Recommended If MOMIX Alice returns to Chicago in the future, run don’t walk to the box office for tickets! Yes, it’s that good! Think psychedelic Cirque du Soleil meets Alice in Wonderland meets Grace Slick, if you can imagine that. If not, you’ll have to see it yourself! 4 BIG Spotlights
I had a toe-tapping good time at a Creole Stomp concert at Theatre at the Center. I’d seen one of their shows in 2019 and loved it, so I jumped on the chance to see them again. The concert felt a little like going to a party on the bayou.
