Two legendary entertainers, Martha Wash and Marsha Warfield, are joining forces for a special two-city Midwest tour this October with their show 'It's Raining Queens™.' The event, part concert, part comedy, and part intimate conversation, will take place on Friday, October 2 at the Halloran Centre Theatre & Stage 1 in Memphis, Tennessee, and Saturday, October 3 at City Winery Chicago in Illinois.
Martha Wash, a two-time Grammy nominee, is known for her powerhouse vocals on multi-platinum classics such as 'It's Raining Men,' 'Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now),' 'Everybody Everybody,' and 'Strike It Up.' Marsha Warfield, acclaimed actress and comedian, is best recognized for her role as Roz Russell on NBC's Night Court and recent appearances on Netflix's The Upshaws and ABC's 9-1-1. Together, they create an evening that celebrates their remarkable careers while offering audiences a behind-the-scenes look at their journeys through stories of triumph, resilience, friendship, and laughter.
According to the press release, 'It's Raining Queens™' offers an experience that cannot be streamed or duplicated, featuring iconic music, stand-up comedy, heartfelt storytelling, and spontaneous moments that make every performance unique. The show aims to be nostalgic without living in the past, funny without losing heart, and filled with unforgettable performances.
