Harlequin Productions’ summer R&B revues have become the stuff of legend. This summer we’re celebrating the great R&B label of the 50s & 60s: Atlantic Records. Their stable of talent included a royal roster of soul: Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, Sam & Dave, Booker T & the MGs and more. We provide the band, singers and dance floor (or our usual luxurious theater seating, if you’re more “inclined” to just bounce in your seat.) You just get down here, shake what you’ve got and let the good times roll!
