The Hennepin Theater Trust announced the one-time Motown hit machine who headed up The Supremes before embarking on a successful solo career will be performing Wednesday, August 28 at the Orpheum Theatre.
Ross racked up an impressive string of #1 hits both with the Supremes in the 1960s [[“Stop! In The Name of Love,” “Baby Love,” “Love Child” and “Someday We’ll Be Together”) and by herself beyond [[“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Love Hangover,” “Touch Me In The Morning,” “Upside Down”).
Ross has earned an Oscar nomination for her performance as Billie Holiday in 1972′s Lady Sings the Blues, a Tony Award for her one-woman show “An Evening with Diana Ross,” and has been given a lifetime achievement Grammy Award.
Tickets for the concert go on sale on May 10 at 10 a.m. Tickets will go for $85 and $45, and a limited number of Gold Circle tickets will be available for $129.
