Get Down Tonight: The Ultimate 70’s Soundtrack Leisa Way, of Leisa Way & the Wayward Wind Band, discusses Get Down Tonight: The Ultimate 70’s Soundtrack . With extensive background in the performing and storytelling arts, Leisa has proudly operated Way-To-Go Productions for nearly 20 years with her vision to create immersive concerts. Working in the musical documentary genre, Leisa enthusiastically describes, “I started off with Patsy Cline and Sweet Dreams . I’m not pretending to be the person, I want to help share their story. These shows are very research-based, as I do deep dives to discover the great stories of the artists’ lives. For Dolly Parton , which I wrote in 2010, someone in Europe generously mailed 60 DVDs for my research.” As Leisa reminisces, “I was a kid in the ‘70s, and the reason I know the music so well is because my sister had the biggest record collection I had ever seen. I would sit with the headset and listen to all kinds of albums. The lyrics were written on the albums, and that’s when I fell in love with lyrics. Get Down Tonight is an opportunity to travel back in time and celebrate what made the ‘70s the ‘70s – the fashion was amazing, and our costuming will reflect this.” Album collages will be on-site for people to peruse, adding to the wonderfully nostalgic experience. Leisa cheers, “I want to
bring the most fabulous show that I can. Hopefully, the audience feels washed in waves of memories. We definitely encourage the audience to sing along and dance. I strive to create an environment where children enjoy theatre, and can join in the celebration of iconic art!” Leisa exclaims about this cast of six, “The calibre of musicianship is off the charts, with most being multi-intsrumentalists. These guys blow my mind, and we are so excited to come to Port Stanley!” Get Down Tonight: The Ultimate 70’s Soundtrack will be at the PSFT from June 2nd to the 6th. Tickets are available through the PSFT Box Office: 302 Bridge Street and 519-782-4353.
