“Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Stevie Wonder Experience” is driven by an impressive performance from singer, actor and pianist John-Mark McGaha. The show captures the sound and sensibility of Wonder while interweaving aspects of his personal life.
John-Mark McGaha performs in “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Stevie Wonder Experience.”
Stevie Wonder hardly needs an introduction. With 25 Grammy Awards and 100 million records sold, Wonder has a list of songs in the keys of R&B, pop, soul, gospel, funk and jazz that has in many ways made him one of the greatest and most enduring “music men” for decades. It is also well known that the 76-year-old became blind shortly after birth yet quickly went on to become a singer, songwriter, musician and record producer at a very early age.
McGaha not only captures both the sound and sensibility of Wonder and his personal life, but also deftly interweaves aspects of his own life, with his connection to Wonder’s songs seamlessly blended into the show by way of Ingersoll’s script. And throughout the two-hour production, McGaha is backed by an onstage band that, in addition to Kurk, includes four terrific musicians: Will Baggett on bass, Chuck Lacy on drums, Josh Rzepka on trumpet and Jesse Montijo on saxophone and flute.
The show’s list of about 20 songs includes a slew of Wonder’s greatest hits, from “For Once in My Life,” “Isn’t She Lovely” and “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” to “Superstition,” “I Just Called to Say I Love You” and the title song. If I had one issue with the production, it was that it was often too heavily amplified and Wonder’s wonderful lyrics were sometimes lost. But of course, his music is so well known that much of the audience could no doubt sing along.
