Artists Lounge Live presents AN UNFORGETTABLE NAT KING COLE CHRISTMAS starring Evan Tyrone Martin on December 18, at Marriott Theatre, 10 Marriott Drive, Lincolnshire, IL, 60069.
Chicago sensation Evan Tyrone Martin (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, SIDE SHOW, OKLAHOMA!) warmly resonates the velvety vocal style of musical legend Nat King Cole. Chicago Tribune calls the Award-nominated Martin “Destined for Stardom: One of the Hot New Faces of Chicago Theatre,” Chicago Sun-Times raves, “Evan Tyrone Martin is a golden-voiced actor of sweetness and grace,” and BCR News praises, “Martin’s vocal ease would have done Nat King Cole proud.” Martin intimately relates Cole’s personal journey, while presenting a festive cocktail of hit including “L-O-V-E,” “Mona Lisa,” “The Christmas Song,” and “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth.”
