THE QUEENS OF KING - A Tribute to Carole King
Big Easy Award Winning performers Lisa Picone and Dorian Rush are collaborating on a new cabaret show The Queens of King: A Tribute to Carole King accompanied by music director Natalie True and produced by Jonathan Mares Productions. The show opens Thursday January 16 and runs through Saturday January 25 at The AllWays Theatre on St. Claude Ave. Shows times are Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
"The Queens of King: A Tribute to Carole King" pays homage to the amazing Carole King who wrote and co-wrote over 400 songs for over 1,000 recording artists. Picone and Rush will perform the songs she made famous (I Feel The Earth Move, It's Too Late, So Far Away) and the songs she wrote that others made famous: (Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Pleasant Valley Sunday, You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, You've Got A Friend). The music will span King's career from the sixties to today.
