) on Thursday February 22nd at 8:00 pm, following a smash, sold-out
show this past July & 35 sold-out concerts in Greece. THE HEAT IS
ON! Examines the life, loves & career of one of Hollywood's most electrifying
sirens & stars QUINN LEMLEY in her critically acclaimed tour-de-force
performance. Written & directed by CARTER INSKEEP (Always, Patsy Cline),
THE HEAT IS ON! Celebrates the music of Hayworth's films & life, with
arrangements by Tedd Firth, with original orchestrations by Bob McDowell
(Off-Broadway's Swingtime Canteen).
THE HEAT IS ON! explores Miss Hayworth's infamous
marriages to Orson Welles & Prince Aly Khan, her turbulent relationship
with Columbia Pictures movie mogul Harry Cohn, her ascent into Hollywood
stardom in the '40's, her relationships with Fred Astaire, Frank
Sinatra & Dick Haymes & her final struggle with Alzheimer's. Miss
Lemley takes you by the hand with Hayworth, as she invites you into
the crevasses of her heart to share the flip side of her life through
monologue & Hayworth's music ("Long Ago and Far Away," "Put The
Blame On Mame," "I'm Old Fashioned," "Zip," "The Lady is a Tramp"
& "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered"), backed by an electrifying
11-piece Big Band, dance & five costume changes.
This performance will be followed by THE OTHER SIDE
OF QUINN LEMLEY is a late night, big band adventure, celebrating
sexy, swingin' standards. Quinn lays down the character of Rita
& is "Quinntessentially" Quinn. The 30-minute set is a fun show
celebrating international standards & Hollywood glam, with a surprise!
