Once Upon A Time... A Mariachi Musical

Vikki Carr is one of the best‑loved and most accomplished entertainers in the United States, Latin America and Europe. She is approaching the fifth decade of a career in which she has won three Grammy Awards and has released over 60 best‑selling recordings. Her Summer Tour of 2006 sold-out shows in the U.S., Mexico ad South America. She has performed for the Queen of England, five United States Presidents, wartime soldiers in Vietnam and sold‑out audiences around the world. She has worked in radio, television, film and theater. Her music embraces two languages and she is among the first artists to bridge the cultures of the United States and Latin America, paving the way for many performers today.

The diversity of her rich voice is impressive. She can belt out the blues or touch the heart with a soft romantic ballad. Frank Sinatra said, “She possesses my kind of voice”, Dean Martin called her “the best girl singer in the business” and Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald named her among their three favorite female singers of all time. Elvis Presley was also very fond of her and even remarked on stage in Las Vegas many times that Vikki Carr was one of his favorite singers and that he liked her because ”she sang from the gut” and introduced her at many of his personal appearances in which she attended.
