Update: Patti LaBelle will perform at the Riverside Theater, not the Pabst as originally scheduled.

Just when we’re all complaining about seeing Halloween decorations at big box stores, it’s suddenly time to announce a Christmas show. At least it's a good one.

The legendary Patti LaBelle will present a Special Christmas Show at the Riverside Theater on Saturday, Dec. 10. Tickets go on sale this Friday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m.

LaBelle's show will include classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual sonnets.

Aside from compiling an extraordinary repertoire of music, LaBelle has written six books, appeared in multiple films and performed on "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Masked Singer," as well as on Broadway.

Patti LaBelle’s Christmas show tickets will be available here on Friday.

The Pabst Theater Group also announced that The Prince Experience returns for a show on Saturday, March 4, 2023.

Gabriel Sanchez and The Prince Experience pay homage to The Purple One with respectable renditions of hits like “Little Red Corvette," “Let’s Go Crazy,” “When Doves Cry,” “Kiss,” “1999” and “Purple Rain.” 

Tickets for this show also go on sale Friday, Aug. 5 and will be available here.
