’80s icons take the stage at Campbell’s Heritage Theatre
Campbell’s Heritage Theatre wraps up its 2022-23 season with an evening of ’80s pop music featuring Taylor Dayne and Sheena Easton on Thursday, April 27.
Between them, the two pop icons have amassed nine Grammy Award nominations, two Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music awards, one American Music Award, six platinum albums, five gold albums, 39 Billboard Top 20 singles and 11 No. 1 Billboard singles.
Dayne’s debut single “Tell It To My Heart” led to international pop stardom in 1987. Ranked as the No. 18 Female Dance artist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, Dayne is equally recognized for her songwriting talent. She wrote many of her own hits as well as Tina Turner’s “Whatever You Want.”
Dayne has also worked as an actress, appearing on Broadway in Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Aida” and co-starring in Denis Leary’s TV drama “Rescue Me.”
Easton is the first – and still only – artist to have a Top 5 record on each of Billboard’s primary singles charts. She has sold over 20 million records worldwide, with hits like “Morning Train: 9 to 5,” “Sugar Walls,” “U Got the Look” featuring Prince and “For Your Eyes Only” from the James Bond movie of the same name.
On Broadway, Easton starred as Aldonza/Dulcinea in “Man of La Mancha” opposite the late Raul Julia’s Don Quixote, and as Rizzo in the “Grease.” She’s had TV roles on “Miami Vice” and “Highlander,” among other programs.
The concert starts at 8 p.m. at the Heritage Theatre at the Campbell Community Center, 1 W. Campbell Ave. Tickets are $70 at HeritageTheatre.org or 408-866-2700.
