‘R.E.S.P.E.C.T.’
The Lutcher Theater in Orange opens their 43rd season with “R.E.S.P.E.C.T.,” an electrifying tribute celebrating the legendary Aretha Franklin on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35-$65 and can be purchased online at lutcher.org.
“R.E.S.P.E.C.T.” showcases the soundtrack of an era that brought Franklin worldwide acclaim singing hits such as, "Natural Woman,” “Think,” “I Knew You Were Waiting for Me,” “Chain of Fools,” “Respect,” and many more.
The supreme talent bringing this show to life has been found in New York’s Trejah Bostic, the lead singer of the band, supported by vocalists Meghan Dawson, Nattalyee Randall and Ashton Weeks, who also serve as the evening’s hosts, and Jasmine Tompkins, the vocalists’understudy.
The tour’s incredibly skilled on-stage live band features music direction and keyboards by Darnell White (“Revelation The Musical,” Gospel at Colonus), Rocco Dellaneve (keys), TJ Griffin (drums), Kenneth “Gypsy” Simpson (guitar), and Owen Williams (bass).
This brand-new production is adapted from McGee Entertainment’s Australian touring smash-hit, “RESPECT – The Aretha Franklin Story” starring Angie Narayan (Australian Idol), also known as Australia’s “Soul Mama,” which continues to play to sold out audiences across Australia.
