Queen City Concerts is rolling out the red carpet for SIDE SHOW, the 1997 Broadway version, as part of our second annual gala event. Get ready to dive into the captivating and slightly bizarre story of Violet and Daisy Hilton, the famous conjoined twins. This show is practically a musical mixtape, following their journey from England to America as they hop aboard the vaudeville train, and even snag a spot in the infamous 1932 film "Freaks."

But hold onto your seats because this isn't just about fame and the glitz of showbiz. SIDE SHOW digs into the bittersweet tale of these two sisters whose bond brought them notoriety but made their search for love one colossal challenge. Their story takes a wild turn in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they found themselves abandoned by their tour manager in 1961. After that plot twist, they decided to trade the spotlight for a local grocery store gig, where they worked until they passed away in January 1969. So, grab your tickets, starting at the wallet-friendly price of $25.43, and prepare for an afternoon or evening filled with catchy tunes and a sprinkle of heart-tugging history.
