CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE: A VERY LENNON CHRISTMAS

Sunday, December 7, 7pm

Tickets on Sale Friday, October 17th at Noon

Tickets starting at $28.75 (inclusive of ticketing fees)

Classic Albums Live channels the beauty and wisdom of John Lennon's music and performs the best of it live on stage; Note for note - cut for cut. The first set consists of the best of Lennon's solo work, while the second set focuses on his work with the Beatles. The show also features a surprise in the CAL dress code - a stark departure from the formal black clothing.

Series founder, Craig Martin, says the shows are a joyous event, "There's something about John's music that brings us all together. Wrapping everything up with a Christmas ribbon seemed like a fun fit. The shows are both memorable and poignant. Songs like 'Imagine' and 'Give Peace a Chance' are showcased alongside classics like 'I Am the Walrus' and 'Come Together.' The evening entices and excites. There's a beautiful moment that happens during the show - we remember what John meant to us. We collectively reflect. It's sublime," says Martin. "I'm as proud of this show as I am of all the others in the CAL canon."

In Big Band history, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the best all-around dance bands. It could swing with the best of them, and no other band could come close to Tommy's when it came to playing ballads. Tommy Dorsey, "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", was a master at creating warm, sentimental, and always musical moods - at superb dancing and listening tempos. The music world lost Tommy at an early age, but his legacy of great music has transcended time. The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra repertoire continues to entertain audiences of all ages throughout the world and represents explosive and swinging Big Band entertainment at its best. A great show to see in the intimate setting of the Studio Theatre at the King Center for the Performing Arts! www.buddymorrowproductions.com
