Bringing back the respect

Don’t miss the electrifying show Respect that will take you on a journey through Aretha Franklin’s courageous life of love, tragedy and triumph while showcasing her greatest hits over the last 50 years, performing at The Events Centre, Caloundra on Saturday 16 July.

Starring Australia’s Soul Mama Angie Narayan, Respect is a masterful piece of storytelling about family, loyalty and victory, layered with glorious harmonies and sassy repartee.

Taking you back in time where it all began in the 1960s, you explore Aretha’s childhood, the church, meeting her first love, the Civil Rights Movement, her musical crush and the profound impact the song Respect had on the world! Natural Woman, Say A Little Prayer and Son of a Preacher Man are just a taste of Aretha’s classics you can expect.

Moving to the 1980s, Sisters are Doin it for Themselves, Freeway of Love and Everyday People are just some of the hits guaranteed to have you up dancing out of your seat. There is one big surprise near the end of the show that no one expects but has everyone in tears.

Hold on to your seat as you journey into this earth-shattering Aretha experience that is Respect.

DATE & TIME: Saturday 16 July at 7.30pm

TICKETS: From $64.90
