Celebrate the timeless music and enduring legacy of Olivia Newton-John with Always Olivia, a vibrant tribute honoring one of pop culture’s most beloved icons. With a career spanning five decades, Olivia sold over 100 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy Awards and an Emmy, and captured hearts around the globe—especially with her unforgettable role as Sandy opposite John Travolta in Grease.
Starring Annie Aiello, whose voice beautifully captures Olivia’s signature warmth and tone, and backed by a five-piece band of Chicago’s top musicians, Always Olivia delivers an authentic and electrifying concert experience. The production—nominated three consecutive years for “Tribute Artist of the Year”—has even been praised by members of Olivia’s own band. Blending five decades of hits with storytelling, humor, audience interaction, costume changes, and dynamic visuals, the show features favorites like “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Physical,” “Magic,” and “Xanadu.”
Kicking off the evening is rising star Jack Aiello. At just 24, Aiello brings a remarkable vocal maturity and effortless charm, channeling the golden age of American music with fresh energy. From his early appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at just 14 to captivating audiences nationwide, his smooth phrasing and charismatic stage presence breathe new life into classics made famous by legends like Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Dean Martin.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of music, nostalgia, and star-powered performances.
