Christopher Cross was by far the biggest new star of 1980, virtually defining adult contemporary radio with a series of smoothly sophisticated ballads including the #1 hit, 'Sailing'. 'Ride Like the Wind', 'Think of Laura' and 'Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)' by this game-changing singer/songwriter earned him five Grammys, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. For a memorable upbeat evening of music that sounds as good today as his timeless recordings, Christopher Cross will entertain with his band at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Friday, March 28, at 8 p.m. Special guest is Joshua Payne, a singer/songwriter with a big, classically-trained voice who brings a unique spin to the pop table and has had his own show at the Playhouse. An AllShows.com VIP Party Pass ($25 addt'l per person), which includes a pre-show cocktail party 6:30 - 7:15 p.m. with open bar, hors-d'oeuvre and priority parking, is available for this show by calling the box office (203-438-5795).
