This show is not one of those jukebox musicals where the songs of an artist are woven around a contrived or flimsy tale. The Man in Black is a celebration of the songs of Johnny Cash, faithfully brought to life to try to provide "the up close and personal LIVE experience of his music." Developed and performed by Scott Keeton, an actual distant cousin of the Cash clan, The Man in Black aptly does just that. It is a theatrical event filled with master musicianship and tuneful reminiscences, guaranteed to entertain theatergoers with country music, gospel, and rock and roll as performed by the one and only Johnny Cash."

AN EVENING of Neil Diamond performed by TOM SADGE

Whatever you call Tom Sadge...a Neil Diamond impersonator, tribute artist and lookalike, audiences swear it's like seeing and hearing the real thing!!! Having spent time with the star himself, Tom Sadge brings the true essence of Neil Diamond to life on the stage. He was very honored when, during a 2002 concert in Pennsylvania, Neil, himself, leaned over the stage and, pointing to Tom, told the crowd of several thousand "This guy sounds just like me!"

Desert Highway has quickly made a name for itself as the premiere Eagles Tribute Band in the United States. The group's renditions of Eagles classics have been recognized by those in the industry such as Jack Tempchin, (composer of "Peaceful Easy Feeling") and received praise throughout North America and Europe. The band has quickly risen through the ranks of tribute artists, and has gone from opening act to headliner status almost overnight. According to Pat Ryder - International Press Association 9/14/10..."The singers were eerily evocative of the originals. The guitar work was impeccable, and at times dazzling. Each supporting player had opportunities to shine throughout the evening" "Desert Highway left the impression that they were much more than an Eagles tribute band, and it was clear the individual players were all critical to the final product. For their efforts, the band got a standing ovation." One listen to Desert Highway is all it will take to make even the most die-hard Eagles lover a fan for life!

Doug Church began his Elvis career in the U.S. Air Force while competing against hundreds of other contestants and winning annual talent contests. In four years, he collected 11 first place trophies for his well-developed likeness to Elvis. In 1990, he competed in the fourth annual Worldwide Elvis Impersonator Contest in Memphis, Tennessee against Elvis entertainers from all over the world...winning second place. Doug has performed in such exotic locations as: Bangkok, Hong Kong, Aruba, The Bahamas, Moscow, France, The United Kingdom, and Denmark.

In 1999, Doug starred in and performed soundtrack vocals for the award winning documentary film "Almost Elvis." Doug's voice has been acknowledged by his peers as being the closest to "The King's".

Doug Church prefers to be recognized as an "Elvis Tribute Artist", rather than an impersonator. Doug performs each and every show as a tribute out of respect for "The King," not to imitate or impersonate the greatest legend of all time.

Through stories and song, Lauren Fox examines the creative genius and conflicted desires of two of folk music's most enduring artists. Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen are widely known to be among the best and most prolific songwriters of their generation. Less known about the fellow Canadian artists is that they had a relationship early in their careers that lasted only a few months, but had a sustaining effect on their work. Many have speculated as to why the relationship didn't last, and that's what Lauren Fox explores here - BOTH SIDES - through their music, their histories, their triumphs and heartbreaks. Lauren delves into the meaning behind the songs, giving her audience a better understanding of a painter and a poet who mesmerized the world through song. Highlights of the show include Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning", "River", and "Both Sides Now", and Cohen's "Suzanne", "Bird on a Wire", and "Hallelujah".

Suzanne Goulet as "Liza" and Denise Rose as "Judy" amazingly look, sing live and dance like the Legends they portray. With or without their Cabaret dancers, Judy & Liza present production numbers that will transport the audience back in time. There is a recreation of "Get Happy" and "Swannee" from Judy's movies, Liza's famous "Bye Bye Blackbird" from "Liza with a Z" and the "Stepping Out" tap dance that she did at Radio City Music Hall.... just to name a few. Together, they performed several duets like "Hello, Dolly!" "Alexander's Ragtime Band", "Be a Clown" (in their tramp costumes) etc. plus a medley of their most famous songs. Their dialogue is filled with humor and interesting show business memories. Audiences find themselves singing along to such standards as "New York, New York" and "Over The Rainbow." One thing for sure, their voices are captivating, their music will start feet taping and their costumes (13 changes) will dazzle.
