Sudbury Theatre Centre presents the smash hit concert Rock ‘n Roll is Here to Stay on stage June 15 to June 17, starring Leisa Way and The Wayward Wind Band as they celebrate 50 years of rock history.
Copper Cliff native and internationally acclaimed Canadian songbird Leisa Way has created magic with her newest concert, Rock n’ Roll is Here to Stay.
Way and her Wayward Wind Band keep the rock ‘n roll and classic rock flame burning in this high energy show that will thrill audiences with the electrifying sounds of the hottest rock stars in history.
“I’m thrilled she’s coming back!” said STC volunteer Judi Straughan.
“Leisa is a true Sudbury gem discovered by the first STC artistic director Tony Lloyd. Leisa’s shows are always high-quality, feel-good experiences that make me want to sing and dance.” It’s the perfect follow up to Way’s 2019 STC concert Across the Pond (the British Invasion) which literally had audiences dancing in the aisles.
