Singing, dancing, backbends, splits and more! Broadway star Chester Gregory presents his popular hit show The Eve of Jackie. Herman LeVern Jones and Chester Gregory have combined their energy to bring this stunning production to the Carnival Studio Theater at the world renowned Arsht Center this October. Gregory pays tribute to legendary soul singer Jackie Wilson, capturing the essence of Wilson’s signature choreography, spirit and inexhaustible energy as if it was the last performance of his life. The Eve of Jackie transports you back into the groove of the ‘60s and examines the life of a human being who dedicated his life to his passion for music. It confronts the wonder of Jackie Wilson’s life and the possible exploitation of his music. Wilson, although well-known and widely celebrated for his music, had little to his name upon his death. Gregory, who has performed in musicals such as Dreamgirls and Sister Act, first played Wilson in 2003’s The Jackie Wilson Story. Ticket Price: General Admission ($50.00)
