Every so often, vocalist Francine Reed invades Seattle for a few months to take the stage at Teatro Zinzanni,
a permanent tent show that’s a wild mix of cirque, vaudeville, dinner theatre, glitz and glam. And Francine fits right in whenever she takes her turn as diva-in-residence. She was first introduced to an international audience when she joined Lyle Lovett’s Large Band. During her current stint at Teatro, Francine and Teatro’s house band visited the KPLU
performance studio where Francine belted out three classic songs and talked with her old friend, KPLU’s Mary McCann, about her early days with Lyle Lovett and the Teatro show she’s currently starring in
Songs:
1: Let The Good Times Roll
2: I Love Paris
3: Wild Women Don’t Get The Blues
