One of the entertainment world’s most beloved, accomplished and recognizable stars, Grammy Award winning, international mega-star HELEN REDDY begins a series of U.S. appearances that will kick off with her return to the live performance arena.   The “voice” of a generation that defined gender empowerment with her signature recording hit “I AM WOMAN” returns to the live performance arena with a kick off engagement at Palm Springs Annenberg Theater.  Ms Reddy is set to perform one night only, March 1, 2013 at 8:00 P.M.

 

The Australian-born singer/songwriter/actress/author cemented her iconic pop culture status during the turbulent, free spirited era of the early 1970’s.  Her signature anthem “I AM WOMAN” rendered her the “feminist poster girl” along with her recording hits “DELTA DAWN”, “I DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM”, “YOU’RE MY WORLD” and “ANGIE BABY”  each of which made the mere mention of her name synonymous with the consummate, strong, independent and resilient ideal of the female sex.  Recognized as a song for the ages, “I AM WOMAN” holds the unique status of being included as required curriculum in Modern American History high school textbooks.

 

Reddy’s career accomplishments are noteworthy and impressive; she’s had more than a dozen Top 40 hit recordings, 3 within the same calendar year; she was the first Australian ever to win an American Grammy Award and also the first Aussie to host her own one-hour weekly primetime variety show on an American television network.  Ms. Reddy also conquered the theatrical and cinematic world, having starred in London’s West End, Royal Albert Hall, The London Palladium as well as on Broadway and New York Lincoln Center in her one woman shows.  On film, she starred in the Disney classic “Pete’s Dragon” and also co-starred in  “Airport 1975”.   Her best selling memoir, “THE WOMAN I AM” was a New York Times Best Seller during the year of its release.  Her written words were as riveting, complex and powerful as her stage persona.  Reddy made the decision herself to walk away from the limelight, focusing instead on her rich inner life sustained by a strong spiritual faith.

 

Reddy will make her much heralded return to the live performance stage when she plays Palm Springs Annenberg Theater.   REACTION PRODUCTIONS, INC a Los Angeles and Palm Springs based company, whose parent arm, REACTION MARKETING & PROMOTIONS, INC provides multi-faceted special event marketing, promotions, strategies and niche entertainment productions is presenting Ms. Reddy.   Reaction President and Executive Producer DAVID R.
