Stephen White: Let Them See at The Waterhouse
Stephen White: Let Them See at The Waterhouse

Peoria native and professional entertainer STEPHEN WHITE returns to his hometown on Saturday February 24th for a one night only vocal cabaret show called 'Let Them See' at The Waterhouse in the MAXAM Building.

 

This original show takes inspiration from the empowering lyric in the song entitled "Words Fail" from the Tony award-winning musical 'Dear Evan Hansen'. Through music and stories Stephen explores self-discovery and embracing one's full potential, inviting all to witness the multifaceted essence of who we are meant to be in this world. Stephen's performance serves as a beacon of encouragement, echoing sentiments of empowerment and the courage to let others see the truest version of oneself as he weaves together songs from Disney composers, Pasek and Paul, Les Misérables, Smoky Joe’s Cafe, Jekyll & Hyde, and more!

 

Admission is $20pp and seating is reserved. The bar will open and seating will begin 1 hour before the show at 6:30p with the show starting at 7:30p. The performance will last approximately 75 minutes.

 

Tables seat 8 people and will be assigned based upon the order of purchase. If you are joining a larger group or want to be seated with another purchaser specifically, please indicate at the time of purchase in the "Notes to Seller" section who you would like to join.
