Always Olivia is a heartfelt and high-energy tribute celebrating the legendary career of Olivia Newton-John . Over a remarkable five-decade career, Olivia sold more than 100 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy Awards and an Emmy, and achieved ten #1 hits and more than fifteen Top 10 singles. Her unforgettable portrayal of Sandy opposite John Travolta in Grease cemented her place as a global superstar.

Starring Annie Aiello—whose voice beautifully captures Olivia's signature warmth and tone—and backed by a five-piece band featuring some of Chicago's finest musicians, Always Olivia authentically recreates the sound and excitement of Olivia's timeless music. The production has been nominated three consecutive years for “Tribute Artist of the Year” and has earned praise from members of Olivia Newton-John 's own band. Collectively, the performers have worked with artists and productions including Oprah Winfrey , American Idol, Jersey Boys, Frankie Avalon and more.

Audiences can expect an evening packed with nostalgia, storytelling, humor, audience interaction, costume changes, and vibrant visuals featuring beloved hits including “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You're the One That I Want,” “Physical,” “Magic,” “Xanadu,” and many more.

Opening the evening is rising vocalist Jack Aiello. At just 24 years old, Aiello has quickly become known for his smooth vocals, effortless charisma, and reverence for the Great American Songbook. His rich interpretations of classics made famous by Frank Sinatra , Bobby Darin , and Dean Martin bring a fresh energy to timeless standards.

Aiello first captured national attention with an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at just 14 years old and has continued entertaining audiences ever since. Praised for his commanding Stage Presence and nostalgic yet modern style, Aiello delivers performances that transport audiences straight to the golden era of American music.
