Reba McEntire/George Strait
Feb. 17
Conseco Fieldhouse.
It would be enough that she was one of the biggest country stars on the planet. But she also guided a self-titled sitcom for six seasons and served as a replacement in the lead in Broadway’s “Annie Get Your Gun” (scoring terrific notices in a production that had been written off as second rate).
As if that weren’t enough, Reba McEntire will have a permanent place in the hearts of action film fans for her performance in the 1990 monster movie “Tremors.”
For this visit, she’s paired with George Strait, and bringing along opener Lee Ann Womack. Details here.
