bergenPAC is getting physical and announcing the appearance of.... Olivia Newton-John. The English-born, Australian-raised singer and sometime actress will perform live at bergenPAC in Englewood, New Jersey on Wednesday December 7th at 8pm.

Adored by millions of fans around the globe, Olivia Newton-John's musical and film accomplishments are well known. Olivia's U.S. album debut, "Let Me Be There," produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. This proved to be only the beginning of a very exciting career. With more than 100 million albums sold, her successes include three more Grammys, numerous Country Music, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, ten #1 hits including "Physical," which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles. (In September 2008, Billboard Magazine listed "Physical" at #6 on their Top 100 Songs Of All Time list and in 2010 listed it as "The Sexiest Song of All Time".) In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in "Grease" catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film's best-selling soundtrack featured the duets "You're The One That I Want" and "Summer Nights," with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, "Hopelessly Devoted To You." To date "Grease" remains the most successful movie musical in history. Her other film credits include "Xanadu," "Two Of A Kind," "It's My Party" and "Sordid Lives."

Her public, humanitarian and wellness related activities have always been of equal importance throughout her career.

In the 90's, she successfully overcame her own battle with breast cancer, which inspired her "GAIA" album, reflecting upon her experiences with cancer. As a breast cancer survivor, Ms. Newton-John has become increasingly well known and respected for talking openly about her battle with breast cancer and for promoting public awareness of the importance of early detection.
