MISTER DAVIS A NIGHT WITH SAMMY featuring Solomon Kee as Sammy Davis Jr. continues it's quest on bringing Sammy back to life with A NIGHT WITH SAMMY FUNDRAISER GALA. Featuring notable singers from Broadway and Off-Broadway and of course, Sammy Davis will be making an appearance. The gala will take place on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 8:00pm.

MR. DAVIS A NIGHT WITH SAMMY, by Solomon Kee and Janie Wallace, directed by, Sidney J. Burgoyne is the new Sammy Davis Jr. Musical Show. Audiences will be transported to the Las Vegas Strip and you're sure to believe you're sitting at the Sands Hotel singing, swinging and crooning with Sammy. The show highlights classic hits like "Candyman", "Mr. Bojangles", "Once in a Lifetime", and "What Kind of Fool Am I?" "Kee is astonishingly like Sammy Davis, Jr. in both song styling and body language", says Interlakes Theatre producer, Nancy Barry. The show isn't about imitation I'm just being Solomon on stage", says Kee. "I sing his songs and add a few Sammy Davisisms here and there. I don't believe anyone can impersonate him he was one of a kind I just wanna make the world taste good like he did." After the show made it's premiere in New York City back in 2011 under the title I'm Just Here To Make the World Taste Good three time Tony Award winning producer Bruce Robert Harris began to help the young writer/performer in order to nurture the show as he continued with it in order to sign on as producer once the show is ready for the big time.

A NIGHT WITH SAMMY FUNDRAISER GALA features Solomon Kee (Creator/Sammy Davis Jr.), Kathryn Allison (2015 Broadway Sensation Winner), Trevor McQueen (Birdland Jazz Club), Jared Neptune (American Idoit Natonal Tour), Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur (Off-Broadway's 8 Million Protagnist), and Kristin Dausch (Sing Play Give Cabaret Series)
