Heart

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson first showed the world that women can rock when their band, Heart, stormed the charts in the ‘70’s with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “Straight On,” and so many more. Not only did the Wilson sisters lead the band, they wrote the songs and played the instruments too, making them the first women in rock to do so. Heart continued topping the charts through the ‘80’s and ‘90’s with huge hits like “These Dreams,” “Alone,” “What About Love,” “If Looks Could Kill,” “Never,” and a string of other hits that showcased the sisters’ enormous talents as musicians and singers.

Along the way, music by Ann and Nancy Wilson and their band Heart has sold more than 35 million albums, sold out arenas worldwide, and found its way into the soundtrack of American life through radio, motion pictures, television, and associations with branded sponsors. Today, songs made famous by Heart are heard in every aspect of contemporary culture.

Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet

This season’s annual Booth Amphitheatre Shakespeare production takes a historical twist on the timeless tale of love and tragedy.

ROMEO AND JULIET will view Shakespeare’s classic love story from a uniquely American perspective by setting the action during the American Civil War era. It was a time when deep seated hatreds blinded people to the love that surrounded them, sometimes even pitting neighbor against neighbor and family against family. It was a desperate time, when two young lovers might need to risk everything to be with their beloved before the world turned upside down. Given that we are in the midst of observing 150 years since the Civil War era, it seems particularly relevant to present this perspective now. Through Shakespeare’s text, the production will explore how the destructive power of hate and the healing power of love swept up everyone in its path, Northerner and Southerner, rich and poor, slave and freeman, young and old, and changed our world forever.

Thursday – Saturday • October 4-6 • 7:30 p.m.

Tickets On Sale Friday, June 8 at noon
