November 21 concert celebrates a “Nat King Cole Christmas”

Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse is extending an invitation to Quad City Plus 60 Club members and their guests to attend the Thursday, November 21, 2024 lunch and matinee concert ‘A Nat King Cole Christmas’ at a special discounted group price!
Help make the holiday season bright as acclaimed musician and storyteller John-Mark McGaha celebrates Nat King Cole with a festive matinee concert of signature songs and yuletide favorites. In this romantic and heartfelt performance, McGaha (The Ray Charles Legacy, Smokey Joe’s Cafe) leads a lush jazz ensemble and poignantly reflects upon Cole’s genius with intimate charm. Broadway World calls his voice “crystal-clear perfection.” Classic tunes include “The Christmas Song,” “Route 66,” “L-O-V-E,” “Unforgettable,” and “All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.”

Doors open at 11:45 a.m. before lunch at 12:00 p.m. followed by the live concert on stage at 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, November 21, at Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse, 1828 3rd Avenue, Rock Island.
