“This show is like nothing we’ve done before,” organizers said. “It’s a thrilling ride through the hits that defined generations, and no matter what era you grew up in, there’s something for you to From the golden era of doo-wop and early rock ‘n’ roll to the heart-thumping anthems of modern pop, Through the Decades highlights some of the most unforgettable voices in music history – each brought to life by Henryetta’s rising stars.
