Pac’s June Concerts
Written By: Mary Adair Trumbly - Highlands PAC | Issue: 2018/06 - June
The Highlands Performing Arts Center will host “The Official Blues Brothers Revue” at 8:00 P.M. Sunday, June 17. It’s been nearly 40 years since the Blues Brothers were first introduced to “Saturday Night Live” viewers as a musical skit that quickly took on a life of its own, culminating in concerts, records and a movie. Now the show lives on with The Official Blues Bothers Revue presented by Dan Aykroyd, Judy Belushi, and musical director Paul Shaffer. Behind the glasses and fedoras are Kieron Lafferty as Elwood Blues and Wayne Catania as Jake Blues. The duo has been on the road as the Blues Brothers for about 15 years. This show really represents Jake and Elwood and their lives and how you would have seen them at the Hollywood Bowl.
The Highlands PAC and the Highlands Playhouse have collaborated to bring you “An Evening with Danny Kaye,” starring Brian Childers. Brian has crossed the country as an actor in both straight plays and musical comedy on the New York stage, Off-Broadway, and in Regional Theatre. He has won critical acclaim for his portrayal of the legendary Danny Kaye in “Danny and Sylvia, A Love Story,” which garnered him both the prestigious Helen Hayes Award as Best Actor in a Musical and the Mary Goldwater Award. Brian worked for three years re-creating
the starring role Off-Broadway in the newly- inspired “Danny and Sylvia, The Danny Kaye Musical.” All performances will be at the Highlands Playhouse – Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 21–23, at 8:00 P.M.; and Saturday and Sunday, June 23–24 at 2:00 P.M. Tickets are available at the Highlands Playhouse by calling (828) 526-2695.
On Saturday, June 30, at 8:00 P.M., it’s “Tapestry: A Tribute to Carole King.” Starring Jeannie Austin on piano and vocals with her back-up singers and band, “Tapestry” faithfully recreates the glorious sound of a Carole King concert, leaving you with memories of the great music she wrote and recorded, including “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Take Good Care of My Baby,” “The Loco- Motion,” “Natural Woman,” “It’s Too Late,” “So Far Away,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “One Fine Day,” “Beautiful,” and “Feel the Earth Move.”
Tickets are available online at highlandspac. org or by calling (828) 526-9047.
