John Lloyd Young brings his new concert Introducing: John Lloyd Young to Palm Springs, delivering songs with an immediacy and originality that make even long-established hits feel like they're unfolding in front of you for the very first time. In this show, Young celebrates classic Doo-Wop and R&B hits from the '50s and '60s, presented in the authentic acoustic style of original rock 'n' roll. Said The New York Times, "John Lloyd Young has a disciplined one-in-a-million high tenor shading into falsetto that he can direct through the stratosphere."

He won the Lead Actor Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards, becoming the only American actor in history to win all four for a Broadway debut. He sings lead vocals on the Platinum, Grammy Award-winning Jersey Boys original cast album.
