Cleveland's Playhouse Square is celebrating the legacy of legendary singer Aretha Franklin.

Aretha Franklin died in 2018, but her legacy continues—the exceptional tribute concert experience, R.E.S.P.E.C.T., which celebrates the music of the Memphis native, will include all of her hits.

Playhouse Square describes the event as "an electrifying tribute celebrating the music of the legendary Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. This concert experience takes audiences on a journey of love, tragedy, courage, and triumph. Starring a live band and supreme vocalists, come experience a night of music by one of the greatest artists of all time."

Franklin's name and likeliness were used with permission from the Aretha Franklin estate.

The intimate concert will include her hits like "Natural Woman," "Think," "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me," "Chain of Fools," "Respect," and many more.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. happens on Thursday, February 23, at 7:30 pm. Full-price tickets range from $49.00-$59.00.
