The Platters at CSCC

Few groups have a legacy as enduring as The Platters®. Founded in 1952 by Herb Reed, they were the first African American group to achieve superstardom, delivering timeless GRAMMY® hits like “Only You” and “The Great Pretender.” Today, their music remains a staple of pop culture, film and television, evidenced by their inclusion in the Marvel® Cinematic Universe. Under the direction of Mr. Reed’s direct successor, Frederick J. Balboni, Jr., The Platters bring their signature harmonies to the stage, keeping the golden era of music alive alongside ageless songs of love from their new LP. This family-friendly performance will inspire audiences of all ages. Don’t miss this legendary interactive show!

Doors to the Cherry Theater open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Arrive early and explore the latest exhibition in the Pryor Art Gallery located in the lobby near the theater.
