Our spectacular “Home with...” musical theatre series continues as we proudly present the remarkable story of Nat “King” Cole.
Nathaniel Adams Coles was born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1919 and christened Nat “King” Cole by a Los Angeles club owner in 1937. He conquered the pop charts in the Fifties and early Sixties with timeless ballads like “Mona Lisa,” and “Unforgettable,” and the melodious, smooth sounds of “Ramblin’ Rose” and “Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer.” He led the King Cole Trio from 1937 to 1955 and recorded the famous “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66” in 1946.
His work as a musical pioneer is undeniable.

A ST. GEORGE PRODUCTION.

General Admission: $40; Seniors (60 and over): $38 Groups of 20 or more: $35 per person
