Add Fine Dining to your evening's plans – enjoy a Willow Bend Buffet Dinner before the show! Just 5 minutes from the venue, Willow Bend is the official dining partner of The Niswonger.
ALWAYS OLIVIA is a tribute to one of the most celebrated and beloved pop culture icons of all time, the late Olivia Newton-John. In a career spanning more than five decades, Olivia Newton-John sold over 100 million records worldwide. Her successes include four Grammys; numerous Country Music, American Music, Billboard, and People’s Choice Awards; an Emmy Award; ten #1 hits; and more than fifteen top-10 singles. In 1978, her costarring role as Sandy with John Travolta in Grease catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. To date it remains the most successful movie musical of all time and has firmly established Olivia Newton-John as an iconic performer for all generations of film and music lovers.
Always Olivia authentically captures the essence and sounds of Olivia’s timeless music. The show stars Annie Aiello, a celebrated singer who has been captivated by and studied Olivia Newton-John ever since Annie was 7 years of age. Backing Annie in the show are five of Chicago’s most talented singers and musicians who have toured with or played on projects for Oprah Winfrey, American Idol, Jersey Boys, Frankie Avalon, The Smothers Brothers, The Drifters, Mannheim Steamroller and more!
This show lovingly incorporates five decades of Olivia’s music, dialogue about Newton-John’s history, humor, audience participation, costume changes and video projection with stimulating visuals. Expect to hear Olivia’s oh-so-memorable hits spanning the 70’s to the present day including: Hopelessly Devoted, You’re The One That I Want, Physical, Magic, Xanadu, If You Love Me Let Me Know, Let Me Be There, Don’t Stop Believin’, Grace & Gratitude and so much more! Performed to a live band or tracks, Always Olivia is in perfect lock-step with authentic Livvy.
