Diana Ross, her music and her voice are legendary. The concerts, a full theatrical experience, will include breathtaking costumes and stage design, along with a live string and horn section. Ross has sold over 100 million records and recorded 18 number one hits. Her music became the sound of young America in the ‘60s soon after she signed with Motown Records in 1961 with The Supremes. She embarked on her extraordinary solo career in 1970, and has not stopped since.

Ross has had a profound influence on American popular culture, ultimately becoming an entertainment industry icon. She is an Academy Award-nominated actress for her role as Billie Holiday in “Lady Sings The Blues,” as well as a Tony and Golden Globe winner, bestselling author, winner of 8 American Music Awards and a recipient of The Kennedy Center Honor.
