MELBA MOORE (Wed, 8/5/2026)

MEET & GREET TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE (Show Tickets NOT INCLUDED)

For many, the last few years have been a challenge, at best, but for the legendary singer/actress Melba Moore, they have been a revelation. Like many of us, Ms. Moore, who has starred on Broadway, in film, and on television, found ways to entertain herself while being entertained by the new activities and innovations that developed during the pandemic. But few were as innovative as DJ D-Nice’s “Club Quarantine,” a livestream of his skills on the turntables that drew millions of viewers, earned him the NAACP Image Award for Entertainer of the Year in 2021, and helped many of us endure the monotony of being sheltered in place. The virtual dance party not only drew the likes of President and Mrs. Obama but Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, President Joe Biden, and almost every actor, activist, and artist known to mankind, breaking Instagram’s LIVE feed and forcing the platform to modify its capacity. And at that Club Quarantine Party, D-Nice played hits and shouted out notables as they entered the party. But when he dropped the needle on Ms. Moore’s 1978 dance classic You Stepped Into My Life, the room erupted with excitement, and those in attendance were quick to bring his attention to the fact that “MELBA MOORE IS IN HERE!” D-Nice called out her name, celebrated her presence, and introduced a new generation to an icon.

So In Love, the first release from IMAGINE, her latest offering to the musical landscape, spent 3 weeks atop The UK Soul Top 30 Chart in November 2021 and returned Moore to airwaves in the United States and around the globe. The world is ready for MORE MELBA! The first single was a labor of love for the mother/daughter duo. Moore notes, “It was first brought to me by my daughter and her uncle (veteran music producer) Beau Huggins (whose sophisticated stylized sound ruled the charts with hits for Moore, Freddie Jackson, Lillo Thomas, Kenny G, Kashif, and many more). “Charli has grown up in the industry. She has diverse interests, but one thing that I know for sure is that she has a genuine love and knowledge of music. So, we thought, `why don’t we do a project together?’”

Melba Moore, the Tony Award-winning, Grammy Award nominated siren, has commanded stages around the world and who has conquered Broadway in memorable roles in HAIR (1967), becoming the first black woman to replace a white woman on Broadway when she replaced Diane Keaton, PURLIE (1970) and became the first Black woman to inhabit the role of Fantine in LES MISERABLES (1995), also used the pandemic period of reflection to work on new music with her sweetest collaborator and greatest creation, her daughter Charli Huggins, who also happens to the head of The Gallery Entertainment, her own independent label. The label is set to release IMAGINE, Melba Moore’s 2022 project featuring new music and a return to her R&B roots. She is the epitome of an entertainer and a consummate performer. Honored with the likes of Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, and Nancy Wilson, Melba Moore was among those who were celebrated at Oprah’s now historic Legends Ball.
