I’m
David L. Coddon,
and here’s your guide to all things essential in San Diego’s arts and culture this week.
Two timeless songs performed by
Chester Gregory during his
“Higher & Higher: A Rock ‘n’ Soul Shindig” concert stirred me to the core, because when the virtual show was over, I turned to Alexa and asked her to play “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke, and after that “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye. I just had to hear them again, in their original incarnations.
Not that Gregory, a Broadway performer with “Hairspray” and “Sister Act” and “Motown: The Musical” on his resume, didn’t give them his all. He stars in this 90-minute show presented by the Chicago-based Artists Lounge Live. It’s being offered and presented here through April 18 by the San Diego Repertory Theatre.
