Drury Lane Theatre Presents THE LENNON SISTERS "America's Sweethearts of Song" Feb. 10 & 11

Iconic American vocal group THE LENNON SISTERS will perform two concerts
at Oakbrook's Drury Lane Theatre on Monday, February 10 at 1:30 p.m.
and Tuesday, February 11 at 1:30 p.m. For over 50 years, THE LENNON
SISTERS achieved commercial success and charmed the nation with their
sweet-voiced harmonies.

Based in Branson, Mo., THE LENNON SISTERS
were dubbed "America's Sweethearts of Song" after a well-received debut
on the Lawrence Welk Christmas special in 1955.  With their natural
vocal talents, striking looks and strong family values, the sisters
charmed their way into millions of American homes as mainstays on the
Lawrence Welk show. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the sisters became a
national phenomenon, making personal appearances in every major U.S.
city, singing for seven U.S. presidents, and inspiring a line of
souvenir items that included coloring books, paper dolls and TV trays.
While most of the sisters' fame was based on their live appearances,
they also recorded several studio albums, which featured their
interpretations of popular American standards. Their hits included
"Tonight You Belong to Me" and "Sad Movies (Make Me Cry)."

In
the 1980s, THE LENNON SISTERS published a memoir titled "Same Song,
Separate Voices." The book detailed their career accomplishments and the
personal challenges they faced after their father's death. The book
sparked a slew of television appearances and further contributed to the
sisters' fame. In 1987, THE LENNON SISTERS were awarded with a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame, physically cementing their popularity. Now,
the sisters continue to perform live at performing arts centers across
the nation.

THE LENNON SISTERS will perform on Monday, February
10 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, February 11 at 1:30 p.m. Single tickets are
$65. Show and meal tickets are $80. Theatre subscriber and group
discounts are available. For reservations, call the Drury Lane Theatre
