Little Theatre of Manchester at Cheney Hall

Two Legends. One Unforgettable Night.
Few singer-songwriters have ever cut as deeply as Harry Chapin and Cat Stevens. One wrote working-class stories with the weight of short fiction. The other captured the restless beauty of youth and spiritual searching in melodies that still feel brand new. Together on one stage, their music makes for an evening that is equal parts warmth, nostalgia, and genuine emotion.
Wild Taxi brings both catalogs to life with the care and authenticity that have earned Satinwood a reputation as one of the most respected names in folk-rock tribute performances.
The setlist draws from two of the most beloved records in the folk-rock canon: Chapin's 1976 live masterwork Greatest Stories Live
and Stevens' landmark Tea for the Tillerman. Expect the songs you already love, performed with the depth and sincerity they deserve.
Cat's in the Cradle · Wild World · Taxi · Father and Son
and more, all in one night.
This is a live folk-rock tribute show for the fans who have carried these songs with them for decades and the ones hearing them for the first time.<a href="https://www.cheneyhall.org/wild-taxi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Get Tickets Here!</a>

WILD TAXI: A Tribute Concert to Yusuf/Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin

Back by popular demand. Again.
There is a reason The Corvettes keep getting called back. The 1950s Doo Wop era produced some of the most joyful, irresistible, flat-out fun music ever made, and nobody brings it back to life quite like this.
In the tradition of legendary Doo Wop revivalists Sha Na Na, The Corvettes Doo Wop Revue is more than a concert. It is an all-out celebration of the music that started it all, performed by one of the premier national touring shows dedicated to keeping the 50s alive and rocking.
The setlist is packed with the classics everyone knows and loves:
Little Darlin' · Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On · At the Hop · The Twist · Earth Angel · Rock Around the Clock · In the Still of the Night · Runaround Sue · Twistin' the Night Away · Splish Splash · Shake Rattle and Roll · and so much more
This is a live 1950s Doo Wop tribute show built for pure fun, pure nostalgia, and the kind of good-time energy that fills a room from the opening note. Whether you lived through the era or just wish you had, The Corvettes deliver a rollicking ride through the golden age of rock and roll that you will not stop talking about.
Don't miss your chance to twist the night away.<a href="https://www.cheneyhall.org/corvettes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Get Tickets Here!</a>

REAL LOVE: KENNY ROGERS &amp; DOLLY PARTON TRIBUTE

The charm, the chemistry, and six decades of unforgettable hits.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton didn't just make great music together. They made each other better. Their onstage chemistry was the kind you can't manufacture, full of warmth, wit, and a genuine affection that audiences felt from the first note to the last. Real Love captures all of it.
The evening opens with Dolly. Laurie Lynn has been performing country music since the age of nine, and her remarkable vibrato voice and irresistible humor make her portrayal of Parton feel less like a tribute and more like the real thing. Performing with professionally produced backing tracks, she works through the full sweep of Dolly's catalog with the spunky, homespun charm that made Parton one of the most beloved entertainers in American history.
Baby I'm Burning · Here You Come Again · Jolene · Coat of Many Colors · Why'd Ya Come In Here · 9 to 5 · I Will Always Love You
Then Kenny takes the stage. Alan Turner is an award-winning country recording artist with his own hit singles and a 2025 Josie Music Award nomination for Outstanding Male Tribute Artist in Nashville. Backed by rich, professionally produced tracks, his set runs deep through Rogers' catalog, and not a single song on the list needs an introduction.
Lucille · Ruby · Coward of the County · Lady · Through the Years · She Believes in Me · Reuben James · Just Dropped In · The Gambler
The night closes the way Kenny and Dolly always did it best: together. We've Got Tonight · You Can't Make Old Friends · Islands in the Stream bring the evening home in a finale that feels less like a tribute show and more like a reunion with two old friends you have missed dearly.
This is an intimate vocal tribute experience, two world-class performers, professionally produced backing tracks, and the songs that defined a generation.<a href="https://www.cheneyhall.org/real-love" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Get Tickets Here!</a>

Any U2 tribute can play "With or Without You." Wide Awake plays "An Cat Dubh."
That distinction matters. Built from the ground up by professional touring musicians who are every bit as obsessed with U2 as the fans who fill the venues, Wide Awake has set itself apart by going deeper into the catalog than almost anyone else dares.
Yes, Where the Streets Have No Name, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, and With or Without You are all here, played with the faithfulness and live energy those songs demand. But it is the material that makes longtime fans do a double take, songs like Into the Heart, Trip Through Your Wires, Running to Stand Still, and The Unforgettable Fire, that make a Wide Awake show feel genuinely special.
The proof is in the rooms. An Irishman from Dublin who had seen every U2 tour since the Joshua Tree show in 1987 said it plainly after a recent performance: Wide Awake's version of "Wild Horses" was better than any time he had seen U2 play it.
Wide Awake is one of the fastest-growing U2 tributes in the country, performing 40 years of the most iconic rock catalog ever made. The big anthems. The deep cuts. The songs U2 rarely plays anymore.
This is a live U2 tribute show built for fans who have seen the real thing and for those who simply love great rock music performed with precision and passion.
Wide Awake and ready for you.

November 6–22, 2026Fridays &amp;&nbsp;Saturdays at 7:30pm &amp;&nbsp;Sundays at 2:00pmAdded Performance: Saturday, November 14 at 2 PM Matinee
From the creative minds behind The Book of Mormon and The Drowsy Chaperone.
The Tony Award–nominated Broadway hit THE PROM proves a little glitter can change the world. When Emma, a small-town high school senior, is banned from bringing her girlfriend to prom, a troupe of eccentric Broadway stars swoops in, determined to save the day—and themselves. What follows is a riotous clash of small-town values and showbiz ego, set to a dazzling score filled with infectious songs and high-energy dance numbers. Both hilarious and heartwarming, THE PROM is a celebration of love, acceptance, and being true to yourself. Get ready to laugh, cheer, and leave the theatre singing!
