But the time has come when you don’t have to go “Downtown” or “Round Every Corner” because “I Know a Place” where you can hear the greatest hits from the 1960s. So “Don’t Sleep in the Subway” and hurry to the Marriott Theatre. Come hear the soundtrack of your life presented like never before. It will make you want to jump out of your seat and “SHOUT!”
