Lynda Carter at Chicago's Apollo Theatre 9/11-16

Lynda Carter's critically lauded cabaret show, An Intimate Evening with Lynda Carter, swings by Chicago's Apollo Theatre for six performances, September 11 - 16.

"Performing an array of jazz classics and standards with a six-piece ensemble, includes 'Put the Blame on Mame,' 'Blues In the Night' and 'As Time Goes By,' under the musical direction of Johnny Harris, who has worked with such legendary stars as Shirley Bassey, Paul Anka and Tom Jones," states press notes. Carter is accompanied by Michael Orland.

In 1973, Carter was crowned Miss World-USA and shortly thereafter outdistanced hundreds of other actresses for the leading role in "Wonder Woman." Carter went on to produce and hosted a series of five Emmy-winning television network variety specials featuring her singing and dancing.  Her recent stage credits include appearing as "Mama Morton" in the West End production of Chicago. She also performed at the Chicago's 10th Anniversary on Broadway celebration.  She co-wrote several songs on her album "Portrait" and made frequent appearances as a singer during her career, including performances at London's Palladium, the MGM Grand and Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and highly rated television shows, including "Lynda Carter's Variety Special" and "Lynda Carter: Encore."

The performance schedule is as follows:  September 11 - 15 at 8PM, and September 16 at 7PM.  The Apollo Theatre is located at 2540 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago.
