“Bridges of Madison County”

Fredericksburg, VA
Wednesday - October 4, 2023

Based on the best-selling novel and major motion picture starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, The Bridges of Madison County tells the story of Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When ruggedly handsome, National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca’s life. This sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open, and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless.

After a fantastic and Sold Out “Tribute to the King” show in 2022, we are excited to announce the return of Elvis Presley Tribute Artist Travis Ledoyt in his all new… Sun and the Stars Show. His high energy non-stop portrayal of the “King of Rock and Roll” was without a doubt, one of the best performances we’ve had at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center! His singing, dancing, witty one-liners, and his incredible Piano playing made for one spectacular and unforgettable afternoon of entertainment. In the “Character of Elvis,” Travis’s “Sun & Stars” Show brings together the top name artists of Sun Records… Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis to mention a few. Hear the hits that made these legends of Rock and Roll famous as Travis performs live on stage with his “Nashville Boys.” His performance with his “audiences” are a truly and engaging experience. It’s the same look, style, sound, and humor that people have come to expect from Travis but with a more diverse pool of music that honors the memory and talent of some of the best entertainers to ever perform on stage. Travis’ musical abilities shine in hits to include “Hound Dog,” “Suspicious Minds,” “Folsom Prison,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and so many more!
