Two iconic entertainers are joining forces for a Midwest tour this October, blending music, comedy, and personal stories into a single unforgettable evening. Martha Wash, the powerhouse vocalist behind global hits like "It's Raining Men" and "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," will share the stage with Marsha Warfield, the acclaimed comedian and actress known for her role as Roz Russell on NBC's Night Court. Their show, It's Raining Queens™, will take place on Friday, October 2 at the Halloran Centre Theatre & Stage 1 in Memphis, Tennessee, and Saturday, October 3 at City Winery Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.
The event combines a concert, stand-up comedy, and an intimate conversation, offering audiences a rare glimpse behind the curtain. Wash and Warfield will perform iconic music, deliver comedy, and share stories of triumph, resilience, and friendship. According to the press release, the evening is "nostalgic without living in the past, funny without losing heart," and features spontaneous moments that make each performance unique.
