This is super cruel, but here goes:
“What’s love got to do, got to do with it / What’s love but a second hand emotion / What’s love got to do, got to do with it / Who needs a heart / When a heart can be broken.”
Wait, we’re not done yet:
“What you want, baby I got / And what you need, you know that I’ve got it / All I’m askin’ for is a little respect / When you come home bring it to me, give it to me / Your heart should go when you come on / Respect me, oh I, I-I-I.”
So now you’re sitting at your desk and you can’t stop humming Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin hits.
Head over to Tucson Music Hall this weekend and you can sing those songs at the top of your lungs with a trio of female vocalists, a five-piece rock band and the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. “Women Rock” also features songs by Pat Benatar (“Love Is A Battlefield”), Carly Simon (“You’re So Vain”), Heart (“These Dreams”), Tina Turner (“Proud Mary”), Carole King (“I Feel the Earth Move”) and others.
Tucson’s is the third symphony to perform “Women Rock,” a Schirmer Theatrical/Greenberg Artists co-production that features arrangements by Grammy-winning producer Jeff Tyzik. Over the next 18 months, 15 more orchestras will host the multimedia show that projects images of the artists who made the songs famous onto a giant screen.
New York City conductor William Waldrop, who was the director/conductor of the 2016 Broadway revival of “Cats,” will lead the TSO in two concerts, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 11, at the Music Hall, 260 S. Church Ave. Tickets are $30 to $77 through tucsonsymphony.org
