Evil Woman—The American ELO performs the eternally groovy music of Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in a multimedia concert that transports you to the heady era of symphonic rock. Few bands have created more iconic songs as ELO, many of which are newly beloved by younger generations today thanks to the soundtracks of blockbuster movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Livin’ Thing,” and “Evil Woman” are among the many instantly recognizable, chart-topping hit songs. You will be spellbound by the flawless musicianship and vocals of Evil Woman’s 12 musicians in this fusion of pop and orchestral arrangements where cellos co-exist with guitars, and classically tinged rock intersects with pop – just as Jeff Lynne intended. Hold on tight to your dream!
