Award-winning actor to perform second show at Legacy Theater in Carthage on June 22

CARTHAGE, Ill. — Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning actor Kelsey Grammer is performing a second show at the Legacy Theater in Carthage at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 22.

Tickets for the June 22 show are now available at the Legacy Theater box office and on line. Tickets for the first show on June 21 sold out quickly. Due to the high interest, negotiations for a second show with Grammer began in the fall.

Grammer has won six Emmys, three Golden Globes, a SAG Award and a Tony Award along with many nominations for his work as Dr. Frasier Crane on NBC sitcoms “Cheers” and “Frasier.” A revival of “Frasier” aired on Paramount Plus for two seasons in 2023-2024.

“An Evening with Kelsey Grammer: Remembering the Life and Legacy of John Mahoney” is a loving tribute of Mahoney by his friend.

The late Mahoney has family and college ties in the region served by the Legacy Theater. In a fireside chat format, Grammer brings his signature wit and charm to the stage while celebrating memories of Mahoney, who played his father, Martin Crane, in the series “Frasier.”

“We are grateful to Kelsey Grammer for agreeing to this show and to the sponsors who make it possible,” Doug Groth, president of The Legacy Theater Foundation, said in a press release. “A wait list started immediately when tickets sold out just weeks after the show was announced last summer. We are pleased that The Legacy Theater can bring this kind of high quality entertainment to our region.”

These shows are presented with support provided by Dan and Kacey Sullivan of Hamilton; Mahoney’s Coffee, Wear Drug and Doug and Eva Groth of Carthage; Royal Printing and Animal Health International Inc. of Quincy; and Augusta Plumbing and Heating.

Tickets for the show are available at the Legacy Theater box office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Stop in at 1160 Buchanan, call the office at 217-357-9479 or order online at www.thelegacytheater.com.
