Jarrod Spector to Perform Live at Pepperdine University's Smothers Theatre
Tony Nominee Jarrod Spector graces Pepperdine University's Smothers Theatre with his biographical show Jukebox Life at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7 at the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts.
Tickets, starting at $25 for adults, and $10 for full-time Pepperdine students, are available now by calling (310) 506-4522 or visiting arts.pepperdine.edu.
Spector is a Broadway veteran, having performed the role of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys for six years and Barry Mann in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical for three years. His latest project, Jukebox Life, is a high-energy show featuring the songs that have shaped his life. Utilizing a combination of archival footage, music, and personal anecdotes, Jukebox Life draws from Spector's album A Little Help From My Friends, recorded live at Manhattan's 54 Below. Using the songs of Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and more, Spector traces his life journey, from his humble beginnings in Philadelphia and becoming Junior Champion on Ed McMahon's Star Search at age six, to auditioning in Los Angeles, to New York and the bright lights of Broadway.
