Two-time Grammy nominee Martha Wash and acclaimed comedian and actress Marsha Warfield are set to bring their joint show, It's Raining Queens™, to the Midwest for a special two-city engagement this October. The performances, scheduled for October 2 in Memphis and October 3 in Chicago, promise an evening that blends iconic music, stand-up comedy, and intimate conversation.
Wash, known for her powerhouse vocals on global hits like "It's Raining Men" and "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," will share the stage with Warfield, beloved for her role as Roz Russell on NBC's Night Court and her recent work on Netflix's The Upshaws. Together, they create a show that is part concert, part comedy event, and part candid discussion about their careers and friendship.
The Midwest tour kicks off on Friday, October 2, at the Halloran Centre Theatre & Stage 1 in Memphis, Tennessee, followed by a performance on Saturday, October 3, at City Winery Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 24, 2026, with a special presale beginning Wednesday, July 22. More information and tickets are available at www.marthawash.com.
Wash's career spans four decades, with 15 Billboard Dance No. 1 singles and a critically acclaimed album, Love & Conflict. Warfield has continued to entertain audiences through stand-up comedy and television, including recurring roles on Netflix's The Upshaws and ABC's 9-1-1. Their collaboration offers a nostalgic yet fresh experience that cannot be replicated through streaming.
The It's Raining Queens™ show celebrates authenticity and resilience, inviting audiences to enjoy unforgettable performances while gaining insight into the lives of two entertainment icons. This Midwest weekend is a rare opportunity to see these legends together in an intimate setting.
