Laura Freeman in Sentimental Journey: The Music of Doris Day

In
“Sentimental Journey: The Music of Doris
Day”
Chicago cabaret
favorite, Laura Freeman honors the iconic star’s 90th
birthday in a tribute to Day’s amazing journey. Having recorded over 600 songs,
Day is known for such hits as Sentimental Journey, Secret Love and
Everybody Loves a Lover.
Doris was not just a pretty voice and a pratfall.
She represents the spirit of us all, at various times in history. She was the
voice of the returning service men from World War II. She was the voice of the
early women’s lib movement, representing single career woman everywhere. She
was also the voice of a grieving gay community, at the height of the AIDS
crisis. Her rendition of My Buddy, sung for her friend Rock Hudson, was
used to say goodbye to sons, brothers and lovers in the early 80’s.  With musical direction by Beckie Menzie.  All seats only $20.  SkokieTheatre.org or 847-677-7761
