RUBEN AND CLAY; TWENTY YEARS-ONE NIGHT To Reunite At The McCallum Theatre

Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken are thrilled to reunite 20 years after captivating audiences during their historic run on the second season of Fox’s American Idol in 2003—and the duo will be performing at the McCallum Theatre at 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 18.

The performance is presented through the generosity of Cary Lowe and Allan Ames.

Both plucked from the relative obscurity of their hometowns in the South, the unlikely pair quickly became audience favorites, instrumental in propelling Idol to the top of the Nielsen ratings, nearly tripling the viewership of the previous season, and securing its place as one of the most consequential TV series in American history. More than 38 million viewers tuned in to hear the results of more than 124 million votes cast during their finale, making it the most-watched Idol episode in history, and the highest-rated regularly scheduled, live, non-sporting television episode of the 21st century.

Combined, they have recorded 12 albums; sold more than 8 million records worldwide; toured the country 14 times; starred together on Broadway; won four Billboard Music Awards and an American Music Award; and have been nominated for two Grammys.

Twenty Years—One Night will highlight the music that made Ruben and Clay American Idol favorites and household names. The evening will feature Clay’s iconic rendition of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Ruben’s soulful single ”Sorry” and much more—delivered as only these true superstars can.

Tickets for this performance are priced at $115, $95 and $60. Tickets are available at www.mccallumtheatre.org or by calling the McCallum Theatre Box Office at (760) 340-2787. The McCallum Theatre, located at 73000 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert CA 92260, accepts payment by cash, personal check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
