George Bugatti Will Bring Jazz and Broadway to Gateway Playhouse
South Jersey Jazz Society presents the Las Vegas headliner in a story-driven journey through jazz history
The South Jersey Jazz Society will present famed jazz vocalist and musician George Bugatti in his much-lauded production "Broadway and All That Jazz" at Gateway Playhouse in Somers Point, June 13.
An acclaimed headliner in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Bugatti will bring his signature style to the stage in a captivating, story-driven journey through the history of jazz on Broadway. Having performed alongside legends such as Tony Bennett to Michel Legrand, Bugatti combines storytelling and song to illuminate the pivotal moments and timeless compositions that shaped jazz's enduring influence on musical theater.
Bugatti has held residencies at iconic venues such as the Bellagio in Las Vegas, The Peninsula in Beverly Hills and Eau Resort in Palm Beach. Last year, Bugatti debuted his show “The Great Story of Broadway Jazz,” written and produced by concert producer-creator Scott Siegel, at 54 Below in New York City. His New York show has been readapted and retitled for various performing arts venues, such as the Gateway, as “Broadway and All That Jazz,” where audiences can delight in Bugatti's engaging stories about how many popular Broadway songs became part of the Great American Songbook.
Bugatti will perform with the grace, style and musical command these great songs deserve, and guide audiences through a rich legacy that celebrates the artistry and evolution of jazz on Broadway. He will focus on the music of iconic composers–think, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Fats Waller, Cy Coleman, and Kander and Ebb–who infused the stage with rhythm, sophistication and soul, and created timeless music that continues to resonate with audiences today.
Bugatti will be accompanied by Musical Director Demetrios Pappas on piano, Andy Lalasis on bass and Bob Shomo on drums.
