Says Lawrence, “Join me in Chicago for what will be an unforgettable evening of special performances with my friends; I am excited they can join me here on stage and we have an incredible celebration in store. The past 20 years have been filled with so many blessings that would not have been possible without God and your amazing support, and I look forward to celebrating in this live recording with you and sharing many more experiences in the years to come.”
