The Heat Is On at The Triad Theater

Quinn Lemley

Broadway World “Best Female Vocalist” and Bistro Award winner Quinn Lemley returns to the New York stage with her critically acclaimed show, Rita Hayworth: The Heat Is On! — a celebration of Hollywood’s original Love Goddess written & directed by Carter Inskeep.

This electrifying musical event launches a record release residency at The Triad, featuring two 11-piece big band performances and two intimate evenings with quartet led by Andrew Wheeler— all in honor of Quinn’s new album, Rita Hayworth Revealed, which is currently under Grammy® consideration for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

With wit, passion, and sizzling stage presence, Lemley embodies the legendary Rita Hayworth — the woman who lit up Hollywood’s Golden Era. Through dazzling performances of 20 timeless songs, she reveals the real Rita behind the icon: a woman of strength, sensuality, and vulnerability who defined glamour and resilience for generations.

From her rise to stardom in Gilda to her tumultuous love affairs with Orson Welles, Prince Aly Khan, and Howard Hughes, Rita Hayworth: The Heat Is On! is an emotional journey — told through the music that was the soundtrack of her life.

Critics have hailed Quinn Lemley’s performance as “dazzling” (The New York Times), “sensual and spellbinding” (Cabaret Scenes), and “You don’t even have to squint to see that Rita’s in the room” (The New York Post).
