The show is creative and innovative in a manner rarely seen in a cabaret setting. If singing and dancing have thrilled you and the rush that you get from that rare creature, the all-round entertainer, gives you chills, this show is made for you. This is a special event by one of today's most talented and dynamic entertainers. In his career, Jon Peterson has repeatedly conquered the worlds of cabaret and musical theater.

Based on some of the preeminent song and dance men of their era, this intimate musical revue epitomizes the true entertainment package in a night club setting. They not only sang and danced to great music, individually, created unforgettable performances through their genius.

In Song Man, Dance Man, Jon Peterson pays respectful tribute to some of these men who ignited the music hall stages of the world and film for much of the twentieth century with their talent leaving a legacy that we will likely never see again.

George M. Cohan: The man who invented the song and dance man.

Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly: Each brought their unique excellence that revolutionized the movie musical.

Bobby Darin:A consummate entertainer whose meteoric rise to stardom ended too soon.

Anthony Newley: His eccentric, Cockney brilliance shook the musical world.

These men stood alone and defined their craft. This intimate, one man musical revue is merely an acknowledgment of that greatness.

Jon was last seen locally co-starring in "Half ASixpence," (Arthur Kipps) at Goodspeed Opera House.
