The Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats
THE SHANGRI-LA CHINESE ACROBATS® have taken the world by storm and continue to do so on this, their 32nd North American Theatre Tour. The show consists of sensational Chinese acrobatics, balancing feats, martial arts displays, and much more. A truly Oriental spectacular and a show for all ages, the grace and precision of the acrobats are the triumph of years of dedicated training and discipline. So, sit back, relax and be transported by these incredible performers to the mystical land of "Shangri-La," where anything is possible ... and illusion becomes reality!
A child of Music City royalty and a former rebel, Pam Tillis was determined to find her own way as a singer and songwriter - and she succeeded. A CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, she has written songs for some of the top singers in and beyond Nashville, including more than a few of her own hits. She knows what it's like to break the platinum barrier, to top the singles charts time and again and to bask in an ovation at her induction as a member of the Opry. She has bathed in the lights of Broadway, posed for glamour magazine spreads, sung ballads in Bay Area bistros, batted wicked one-liners back to Tom Bergeron on Hollywood Squares, even made cameos in movies. But no matter where she wandered, Pam Tillis never lost her connection to country music.
Imagine The Beatles playing in concert with a symphony orchestra...The Memphis Symphony Orchestra to be exact! The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock concert. The full show presents some 30 Beatles tunes sung, played, and performed exactly as they were written. Hear "Penny Lane" with a live trumpet section; experience the beauty of "Yesterday" with an acoustic guitar and string quartet; enjoy the rock/classical blend on the hard edged "I Am the Walrus." From early Beatles music on through the solo years, Classical Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles like you've never heard them: totally live.
