Hit parade
Tim Spradlin's cabaret showcases top-selling '50s and '60s songs
By Jay Harvey
Posted: March 5, 2009 A Tim Spradlin will keep the hits coming in a new cabaret show opening Saturday at Unity of Indianapolis, 907 N. Delaware St.
Titled "The Number One Songs," the musical revue will cover top-selling songs of the 1950s and '60s by the Platters, Doris Day, the Drifters, the Supremes and, of course, Elvis Presley -- who will get an extensive salute all to himself.
A veteran of the old American Cabaret Theatre cast in the 1990s, Spradlin will inaugurate his third year of cabaret shows at Unity. Spradlin, holder of a community-theater Encore Award for best male vocalist, has also produced and performed in the off-Broadway musical "The Last Five Years" at the Wheeler Community Arts Center.
He has starred in local productions of "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Evita" and "Sweeney Todd."
Spradlin will be joined by jazz and cover-band vocalist Heather Ramsey, who came to Indianapolis in 2001 and has since performed with Tom Mullinix, Chris Rutkowski, Frank Smith and Kenny Phelps -- all of them instrumental in the 2008 release of her CD, "So Many Stars."
Other performances in the seven-show Unity series include "The Men of the Motown Era," with guests Jimmy Guilford and Jim Washington, on April 18.
Besides the 8 p.m. show, the ticket price of $12 includes dessert (served at 7:15 p.m.), coffee and tea. For more information, call (317) 329-3537 or go to www.timspradlin.music.com.
