THE queen of soul Aretha Franklin’s life story will be told on the Frankston Arts Centre stage next month.
RESPECT follows the iconic singer’s journey from the 1960s to the 1980s. The show will feature hit songs Natural Woman, Think, Say A Little Prayer, and Son of a Preacher Man.
Show producer Monique Cribb said, “this is a story about family, loyalty and victory, layered with glorious harmonies and sassy repartee. I wanted to connect people to Aretha through an authentic mind, body and soul experience. The show takes you on an intimate musical odyssey through Aretha’s interesting life.”
Aretha Franklin will be played by Angie Narayan. Cribb said “her voice is highly evocative of the socially conscious singer, whose chart-topping hits inspired generations. Aretha was Angie’s greatest musical influence who coincidentally, embodies so much of Aretha’s essence and heart. That is why I knew she was the perfect artist to play such a significant role.”
The Frankston performance will take place on 3 March.
