Quinn Lemley Ignites NYC in “Rita Hayworth: The Heat Is On!” — Four-Show Residency at The Triad

Quinn Lemley is back in New York, and she’s not easing into it—she’s torching the room. The Broadway World “Best Female Vocalist” and Bistro Award winner returns with Rita Hayworth: The Heat Is On!, her hit tribute to Hollywood’s original Love Goddess. Written and directed by Carter Inskeep, the show dives straight into Rita’s glamour, heartbreak, fire, and myth with a punch of big-band sparkle and cinematic flair.

This new run doubles as a record-release residency for Lemley’s album Rita Hayworth Revealed—a project that snagged Grammy® consideration for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and a 2025 Josie Award nomination. Across four nights at The Triad, she’ll switch between lush, full-band blowouts and intimate quartet evenings, all shaped by music director Andrew Wheeler.

Lemley doesn’t imitate Rita—she channels her. Across 20 iconic songs, she cracks open the woman behind the legend: the trailblazer from Gilda, the survivor of Hollywood’s golden machine, and the lover entangled with Orson Welles, Prince Aly Khan, and Howard Hughes. It’s glamorous, emotional, wickedly fun, and surprisingly raw.

Critics aren’t subtle about it either:
“Dazzling.” — The New York Times
“Sensual and spellbinding.” — Cabaret Scenes
“You don’t even have to squint to see that Rita’s in the room.” — The New York Post

The Triad Theater — 158 West 72nd Street, NYC
