RJR Presents AN EVENING WITH PETULA CLARK at The Duncan Theatre, 12/7
Premiering this Fall, RJR Presents will have the distinct honor of bringing South Florida audiences some of the entertainment world's brightest talents. RJR Presents will be presenting world class artists at many of South Florida's favorite venues throughout it's inaugural season. The 2017/2018 will include the hilarious comedian Joy Behar (Star of ABC TC's The View), Broadway & Concert Singer/Actress Linda Eder, and the legendary international superstar Petula Clark (Downtown, Don't Sleep In The Subway) in an all too rare area appearance. Additional performances will be announced shortly.
Petula Clark was born in Epsom, England, but her love of music began at a very early age in her mother's land of Wales. She was already a star in the U.K. by the age of 9, singing for the troops stationed in England during World War II.
Many years later, when, after marrying French PR man Claude Wolff, she moved to France. Almost without trying, she soon became a star in that country, and across Europe, also recording in French, Italian, German and Spanish, finding time to produce two delightful daughters, Barbara and Kate (and later a splendid son, Patrick).
While still living in Paris, English songwriter Tony Hatch presented her with his new composition: Downtown. The recording was made in London and was destined to become a worldwide hit, leading to a string of top ten records (including I Know A Place, My Love, A Sign Of The Times, Don't Sleep In The Subway, etc.), winning her 2 Grammy awards, and taking Petula's career to international level. She has been living in Geneva, Switzerland for many years, where she met up with Charlie Chaplin who wrote one of her major hits This Is My Song.
She has performed in her own TV shows in the U.K., the U.S.A. and France. She has starred in movies (including Finian's Rainbow with Fred Astaire, Goodbye Mr. Chips with Peter O'Toole), theater in London's West End and on Broadway, and has just finished a triumphant U.K. tour after the release of her new CD From Now On.
Petula is very excited to be back in the U.S.
