Jarrod Spector to Bring JUKEBOX LIFE to Feinstein's at the Nikko This May
Following a sold-out engagement of his celebrated show, A Little Help from My Friends, in 2015, Tony Award nominee Jarrod Spector returns to Feinstein's at the Nikko with his new show, Jukebox Life, on Thursday, May 11 (8 p.m.) and Friday, May 12 (8 p.m.). Tickets for Jarrod Spector range in price from $40 - $60 and are available by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketfly.com.
For six years, he played 'Frankie Valli' in Jersey Boys. For three years, he played 'Barry Mann' in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. For countless hours, he worked on preliminary productions of other jukebox and biographical shows no one has ever heard of.
These experiences, including 1,500 'Can't Take My Eyes Off of You's' and 900 'We Gotta Get Outta This Place's,' have led Jarrod Spector to be called "Mr. Jukebox Musical" (by his mother), but a fitting and eclectic soundtrack of his life began long before that title was bestowed.
Predating even his time crooning Bobby Darin hits ('I Can't Give You Anything but Love,' 'Mack the Knife') en route to becoming Junior Champion on Ed McMahon's "Star Search" at age six, music has framed and underscored the story of Jarrod's often-humbling journey from his childhood home in Philadelphia ('Jukebox Baby') to the bright lights 'On Broadway.' With a red-hot band and helped by unrivaled and often-embarrassing childhood archival footage, Jukebox Life traces Jarrod's journey from Philly to Los Angeles to New York, through some terrible-and eventually less-terrible-auditions ('One Song Glory'), to getting the role ('Since I Don't Have You') and, best of all, to getting the girl ('Shiksa Goddess').
Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein's at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting. There is a $20 food and beverage minimum per person inside the showroom which guests can use towards cocktails as well as a variety of small plates crafted exclusively for Feinstein's at the Nikko by Executive Chef Philippe Striffeler, through Restaurant Anzu. Cheese and dessert platters will also be available in the showroom.
All seating at Feinstein's at the Nikko is cabaret style and available on a first-come, first-served basis within the section purchased. Guests who purchase the prix-fixe dinner at Restaurant Anzu will receive a complimentary section upgrade (subject to availability) and get to choose their exact seat locations within the upgraded section.
