A new live performance in Phoenix is bringing together decades of popular music into one interactive stage experience, giving audiences a chance to relive some of the biggest hits ever recorded.
The show, called “Radio Recall,” is scheduled to take place at the Herberger Theater in downtown Phoenix on May 2, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. It features a wide range of music from legendary artists like Queen, Tina Turner, Lady Gaga, and many others, combining their songs into one cohesive performance.
The production was created by performers Jenna Rubaii and Aaron LaVigne, who have worked together for years, including on the 50th anniversary touring production of the Jesus Christ Superstar. Their experience in major stage productions helped shape the concept behind the show.
“Radio Recall” is designed to be more than just a concert. It’s an interactive experience that takes the audience through different eras of music, blending storytelling with live performance. The goal is to create a shared experience where the audience connects emotionally with the music while also participating in the moment.
LaVigne described the show as something that unfolds in real time with the audience, emphasizing the emotional connection people feel when hearing songs that have shaped their lives. Meanwhile, Rubaii highlighted how much she enjoys interacting with the crowd and being fully present in each performance, noting that every show feels unique.
A key element that sets the performance apart is the chemistry between the two performers. Rubaii said that their connection adds an extra layer of energy and spontaneity, making each show feel fresh and different from the last.
The show combines multiple musical styles and eras, reimagining well-known songs through both high-energy arrangements and more intimate acoustic moments. It also incorporates storytelling elements that guide the audience through the history and emotional impact of the music.
Overall, “Radio Recall” offers a mix of nostalgia, live performance, and audience interaction, giving Phoenix residents a chance to experience a wide range of iconic songs in a single, immersive event.
