On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 7:30 p.m., Tutti Frutti: The Life & Music of Little Richard inside the Boathouse Theatre at Valhalla.
Tutti Frutti: The Life & Music of Little Richard is a vibrant, high-energy celebration of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most influential pioneers. This electrifying show traces the extraordinary life and career of Little Richard — from his gospel roots and breakout hits like “Tutti Frutti” and “Long Tall Sally,” to his lasting impact on generations of musicians. Featuring thrilling live performances, powerful storytelling, and a soundtrack of iconic songs that defined an era, Tutti Frutti brings the spirit, style, and raw energy of the “Architect of Rock and Roll” to life on stage. It’s a tribute as bold, joyful, and unforgettable as Little Richard himself.
The Tallac Historic Site is located 2 miles past the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 89, just past Camp Richardson, on the lake side of Highway 89. Please turn right on the street with the sign “Valhalla.” If the gate is locked or the 73-space parking lot is full, park along Hwy 89 outside the entrance. There is a large dirt lot just past the Valhalla Tahoe sign. Overnight parking is not allowed inside the gate. At the owner’s own risk, cars can be left overnight outside the gate in the dirt lot.
We encourage carpooling, bike riding, and good old-fashioned walking. Parking is allowed in designated 73 spaces only. A large public parking lot for the Tallac Historic Site on Heritage Way, one street West of Valhalla Road, is open in late May or early October.
- There are ~225 yards between the parking lot and the Boathouse Theater. Please wear comfortable shoes and allow time for the walk. A site host can bring a golf cart around for accessibility issues if scheduled ahead of time.
