Thomas Hanratty, lifelong resident of Hell’s Kitchen and once the most dangerous cab driver in New York City, was blinded eight years ago in a drunken accident and is fading into a routine of self pity and alcohol. When he is about to lose his only friend to a new life in Vermont, a volunteer reader from the Blind School is recruited in an attempt to break through Tom’s shell. The result is a battle of wills and wits that proves beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder and reminds us that our eyes can sometimes get in the way of our seeing.
THE SPINNERS
An Evening of the Classic Motown Hits you Know & Love!
Keswick Theater
FEB 6 • 8:00PM
The Spinners are the greatest soul group of the early ’70s, creating a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of Philly soul. Most often thought of as a Motown recording act, the classic group sound of legendary R&B recording artists, The Spinners has never lost its universal appeal. Throughout the years they have sold millions of records and topped both the Pop and R&B charts with smash hits like “I’ll Be Around” and “Then Came You.” Today, original member Henry Fambrough is joined onstage by lead singer Charlton Washington, high tenor Marvin Taylor, tenor Ronnie Moss, and bass singer Jessie Peck; a soul-infused 5-piece band, led by Keith Ferguson, backs them up.
