I Put a Spell on You: Nina Simone

Nina Simone’s discography is a masterwork of contradiction—at once delicate, haunting, and fiercely political. Felicia Curry steps into this complex musical architecture, honoring the singular icon and the formidable women who followed in her wake. The evening spans the soulful subversion of Simone’s velvet-and-steel originals to the anthemic power of Franklin’s "Respect" and Chaka Khan’s "I’m Every Woman." Expect an evening that leans into the smoke and substance of the jazz club while honoring the radical brilliance of the women who transformed the American songbook.
