It's Jukebox Saturday Night at the Keswick Theater on Saturday, October 24th. Jukebox Saturday Night features Bobby Rydell, Emil Stucchio & The Classics, Lenny Welch and Peggy March.

Former teen idol Bobby Rydell performs his string of hits including Kissin' Time, Wild One and Volare. Philadelphia born Rydell ruled rock and roll in the 1960s with 34 Top 40 hits and went on to star in the movie Bye Bye Birdie, the stage production of West Side Story and was a regular on many TV shows including American Bandstand. Now, more than fifty years later, Bobby Rydell continues to be an overwhelming concert success.

With original member, Emil Stucchio, the Classics made the Top 20 in the early 60s with "Till Then." The group's strength lay in their handling of ballads -- they love reviving '20s and '30s standards such as "P.S. I Love You".

Lenny Welch built his career singing pop tunes with a hint of R&B flavor and a succinct sweetness in the voice. His remake of an old Jerry Vale hit, "You Don't Know Me" shaped the course of his career and his remake of the big band era song, "Since I Fell For You", turned out to be his biggest hit.

Lansdale, Pennsylvania native "Little" Peggy March helped define the girl-group sound when her million selling single, "I Will Follow Him", spent three weeks at number 1. Just 15 years old and the youngest female singer with a number 1 hit, March followed up with singles, "I Wish I Were a Princess" (which was featured in John Waters' Hairspray) and "Hello Heartache, Goodbye Love", both hit the top 40.

It's Jukebox Saturday Night at the Keswick Theatre on Saturday, October 24, featuring Bobby Rydell, Emil Stucchio & The Classics, Lenny Welch and Peggy March. Showtime is 8 pm. The theatre is located at 291 N. Keswick Avenue, Glenside. Tickets start at $45.50.
