R&B on the hill
It’s been more than a year since the Playhouse in the Park’s Marx Theatre has hosted a live show.
That all changes April 30, with the opening of “Higher and Higher: A Rock ‘n Soul Party with Chester Gregory.”
It’s just a three-performance engagement. And instead of seating 626 people, the Playhouse is limited to 30 percent of capacity, meaning that just 187 (or so) tickets will be sold.
But there will be live performers; Broadway star Chester Gregory, along with a four-piece band and a pair of backup singers. And there will be oodles of songs made famous by R&B giants like Sam Cooke, James Brown and Otis Redding, among others.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - The Cincinnati Art Museum is now open inside with certain guidelines in place due to the pandemic.
If you are visiting the museum, you may want to plan some time to spend outside the area as well. From the parking lot to the entrance to the area around the museum, a lot has changed.
“You can visit Pinocchio outside, you can visit the Art Climb then have a picnic in the park while you’re at it,” explains Cincinnati Art Museum Marketing Communications Director Jill Dunne.
