QUINN LEMLEY sizzles as Rita Hayworth in her show THE HEAT IS
ON! RITA HAYWORTH: A Life in Concert. She’s so hot that you start thinking
the word “siren” must have been created just for her. Using standards like
“Put The Blame On Mame,” “The Lady Is A Tramp,” “Bewitched Bothered And
Bewildered,” “That Old Black Magic,” and many others, she conveys the
topsy-turvy life of the red-headed actress who became known and loved as
“Gilda.” This includes her torrid affairs and marriages to Orson Welles, Prince
Aly Kahn, Howard Hughes, and Frank Sinatra to name a few. It takes about two
seconds to convince yourself that Lemley is Hayworth, and she never
breaks character throughout the show. Her strong sultry voice is backed by an
11-piece Big Band and enhanced by arrangements by Tedd Firth. Throw in
fantastically authentic gowns by Susannah Norris-Lindsay, and it’s easy
to imagine that you’ve been transported to a 1940's nightclub. Singing, dancing
and delightful anecdotes of behind-the-scenes Hollywood make this two-hour show
fly by. At the end, you’ll want to drop Quinn Lemley a thank you note for
starring in THE HEAT IS ON!
