About this event
The production is a live concert tribute to the music associated with Karen and Richard Carpenter. The San Diego listing describes an all-new production from the creative team behind The Simon & Garfunkel Story, with a full band and storytelling elements. The concert is framed around Christmas repertoire and the recognizable vocal identity associated with Karen Carpenter, while also presenting the brother-and-sister duo's broader popular songbook, including We've Only Just Begun, Close to You, and Rainy Days and Mondays. The format combines live band accompaniment with narrative material and audience participation, including singing along and reminiscence. Scenic design, lighting, costumes, projections, running time, and the identities of the San Diego performers are not specified.
