Celebrate the lives and legacies of Sidney Poitier and Betty White, two of the Hollywood screen’s biggest stars, through the music that scored their illustrious lives.
Betty White, almost 100 years on earth, dazzled and made the world smile with her singing, her comedy and her philanthropy/activism. Sidney was here almost as long, leaving his mark as a debonair and commanding figure, on and off the screen.
Their stories were connected in ways we’ll uncover in the show, as we experience the signature songs that were the soundtrack to their careers: Hear favourite classics including “Thank You For Being A Friend”, “It’s a Good Day”, “To Sir, With Love”, selections from “Porgy and Bess”, and many more…
