Celebrate the Music of Olivia Newton-John

Always Olivia Brings the Music and Magic of Olivia Newton-John to Raue Center

Get ready for a night of unforgettable hits, heartwarming memories, and pure nostalgia when Always Olivia takes the stage at Raue Center for the Arts on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 PM.

Celebrating the life and legacy of the late Olivia Newton-John, Always Olivia is a spectacular tribute to one of pop music’s most beloved stars. Over a career spanning five decades, Olivia sold more than 100 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy Awards and an Emmy, and became a global icon through chart-topping hits and her unforgettable role as Sandy in Grease.

Starring Annie Aiello, whose voice beautifully captures Olivia’s signature warmth and charm, Always Olivia authentically recreates the sound and spirit of Olivia’s music. Backed by a five-piece band featuring some of Chicago’s finest musicians, the production has earned multiple “Tribute Artist of the Year” nominations and praise from members of Olivia Newton-John’s own band.

More than a concert, Always Olivia is an immersive celebration featuring storytelling, humor, audience interaction, costume changes, and vibrant video visuals. Audiences will enjoy beloved favorites including “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Physical,” “Magic,” “Xanadu,” and many more.

Opening the evening is rising star Jack Aiello, whose smooth vocals and effortless charisma have made him one of the most exciting young performers on today’s music scene. At just 24 years old, Aiello brings fresh energy to timeless classics made famous by Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, and other legends of the Great American Songbook.

Jack first gained national attention when he appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at just 14 years old. Since then, audiences have been captivated by his rich vocal style, commanding stage presence, and ability to blend nostalgia with a modern sensibility. His performance is the perfect complement to an evening celebrating two generations of iconic music.

Whether you’re a lifelong Olivia Newton-John fan or simply love great live entertainment, Always Olivia promises an unforgettable evening filled with songs you’ll know, memories you’ll cherish, and performances you’ll love.
