Sheena Easton, who is best known for her string of Top 40 hits in the 1980s, which include "Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)", "Modern Girl", "Morning Train" and "Sugar Walls" will be playing two shows at Mohegan Sun's Wolf Den on April 14 & 15, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. Admission to both shows is free, but Wolf Den patrons must be 21 or over.
For OSCAR aficionado's, Ms Easton is remembered for her performance at the 54th Academy Awards. She performed her hit, "For Your Eyes Only" which was nominated for "Best Song".
The production number featured Ms. Easton in a slinky dress, singing and being rescued by James Bond from nefarious "Bond" villains. With smoke bombs, spaceships and lasers, it is widely remembered as the most over-the-top OSCAR production number ever! Which, given the competition, is an achievement.
Ms. Easton has appeared on Broadway twice. Her first gig on Broadway was playing Dulcinea in the 1992 revival of "Man of LaMancha" opposite Raul Julia as Don Quixote. She later toured with the show with Hal Linden in the lead role.
Her next appearance on Broadway was in 1996, playing the role of Rizzo in the revival of "Grease". Ms. Easton was one of the many women who played the role after Rosie O'Donnell left the Broadway production to tour with the show.
Recently, she has played to role of Narrator in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".
