Darlene Love to Perform at Ridgefield Playhouse, 12/13

"She's a rebel in stilettos and an ever-present smile." (The Associated Press) That is the iconic singer Darlene Love. An opportunity to see a rock 'n' roll legend and celebrate the holidays doesn't come around very often, but on Saturday, December 13, at 8 p.m., wishes come true when Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Darlene brings her Holiday show to The Ridgefield Playhouse! From her first No. 1 recording, "He's A Rebel" through her string of hits including Phil Spector's legendary "Wall of Sound" hit factory ("Da Doo Ron Ron", "He's Sure The Boy I'm Gonna Marry" and "Christmas Baby Please Come Home"), to the countless songs for which Darlene sang backup for Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick, Cher and Aretha Franklin, Darlene Love is still blazing a trail of success in the music industry! Darlene Love's performances retain all the power and richness of vocal tone that made her a legend among artists from a classic era of pop music. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, along with Alice Cooper and Neil Diamond. Lyn Evans Potpourri Designs will be hosting a pop-up holiday boutique in the lobby during this event to help busy people get some shopping done while enjoying a dynamite holiday show. This event is part of the Ridgefield Magazine Broadway & Cabaret Series. Bernard's (20 West Lane, Ridgefield) is offering a special $45 prix-fixe menu, or a free glass of wine with dinner, the night of this event when tickets are presented; reservations suggested. This event is part of the Ridgefield Magazine Broadway and Cabaret Series.

This season will mark Darlene's 28th annual holiday performance on Late Show with Dave Letterman. She will also be performing at the Hollywood Christmas at the Grove tree lighting event, which is scheduled to air on CBS the Friday after Thanksgiving.
