Award-winning performer, charming socialite and cocktail enthusiast Lucy Darling continues her vivacious vagabond voyages with "You’re Welcome," a touring variety show featuring her razor-sharp wit, unquestionable advice, skillful magic and delightful friends. 

Lucy is bringing her signature charm and mischief from screen to stage, and everyone is welcome. Even after half a year of sold-out appearances, her growing legion of devoted Darlings has been begging for more visits—this is her answer to their call. "You're Welcome" is more than just a tour; it's a reunion of people who have not yet met, a party for every member of the Darling family tree.

Lucy is accompanied on piano, ukulele and a cornucopia of other instruments by the delightfully eccentric Mark Ettinger (musician, composer and renowned globe-trotting juggler with the legendary Flying Karamazov Brothers). This charming duo’s playful banter and effortless chemistry dazzles and enchants audiences everywhere they go. 

Ticket Add-on: Pre-Show Talkback
Enjoy a candid conversation with Carisa Hendrix (the performer behind Lucy Darling). Hear never-before-told stories, ask your own questions and get a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry behind the performance. Limited spots available.

Ticket Add-on: Post-Show Meet & Greet
Post-Show Meet & Greet ticket holders are invited to meet Lucy Darling in person after the show, snap a photo with the icon herself and take home a curated merch package to remember the night. The perfect cherry on top of an unforgettable evening.

You must purchase a ticket to the show in order to purchase a ticket add-on event – available during checkout.

If you are having trouble, please call the ticket office at 608-258-4141.
