The Des Plaines Theatre Through the Decades show will begin with the “Bourbon ‘N Brass Prohibition Band” performing music from the 1920s and 1930s. Then, a short Andrews Sisters/Glenn Miller Orchestra-style salute to the 1940s will take place. The 1950s will be represented by a 30-minute rock-and roll retrospective by Priscilla Presley and Ron Onesti (Tickets for an after-show meet and greet and Q&A can be purchased separately). The 1960s will be discussed by The Monkees founding vocalist and drummer, Micky Dolenz. The 1970s and 1980s will be remembered by the “Ides of March” and Jim Peterik. The band’s 1970 hit, “Vehicle” along with the Peterik-penned, Survivor smash from 1983, “Eye of the Tiger” will be performed by the band. Performing a few hit songs from the timeless rock band, CHICAGO, will be founding drummer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Danny Seraphine.
