Marriott Theatre, Lincolnshire has announced a two-night engagement of SOUTHERN NIGHTS: MICHAEL INGERSOLL SINGS GLEN CAMPBELL, a heartfelt salute to the country-western singer who became a crossover sensation with hits like “Gentle on My Mind," and “Rhinestone Cowboy.” This tribute concert will be performed by JERSEY BOYS star Michael Ingersoll and is produced by Ingersoll’s company Artists Lounge Live. The concert will be performed twice – first on Monday, October 17 at 7:30, and again on Tuesday, October 18 at 1 pm.
PBS star Michael Ingersoll earned acclaim starring in the original San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago casts of JERSEY BOYS, and in UNDER THE STREETLAMP on PBS. CHICAGO SUN-TIMES declares, "He's got star written all over him." A gifted storyteller, Ingersoll relates Campbell's rags to riches journey with grit, gratitude, and grace. From Campbell’s groundbreaking collaborations with Elvis, Sinatra, and The Beach Boys, to a chart-topping solo and TV career, to his noble battle with Alzheimer's, Campbell is an inspiration to millions. Songs include, "Gentle On My Mind," "Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Galveston," and "God Only Knows."
Following SOUTHERN NIGHTS in the theater’s concert series, on December 12 and 13, Marriott Theatre will present Artists Lounge Live’s SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS: JOHN - MARK MCGAHA SINGS STEVIE WONDER.
