PARTNER HIGHLIGHT
Speaking of divas, you won’t want to miss Todrick Hall at the Mill & Mine April 9 for his Femuline Tour. An inspiring LGBTQ+ role model, Todrick has seen first-hand how powerful such a pop-cultural presence can be for those growing up like he once did, surrounded by people who didn’t understand him. He realizes, “You don’t need to have anything figured out. If you did, there’d be no point in living.” Sounds like the only thing you need to figure out is if you’re coming to Knoxville for one or two shows that weekend!
Hey “hot stuff”, grab your “bad girls” and come see SUMMER the Donna Summer Musical at the Tennessee Theatre April 8-10! This Broadway musical tells the tale of how Donna Summer risked it all to break through barriers, becoming the icon of an era and the inspiration for every music diva who followed. With a score featuring more than 20 classic hits, this experience is a moving tribute to the voice of a generation.
