This unique Capitol Theatre concert series, conceived by Jeff Newberry and Kempson, showcases the top Billboard hits of a given year or theme, performed by top-notch artists.

1986 will be directed by Rob Kempson, and the live band will be led by Music Director Jeff Newberry, featuring Kelsey Verzotti, Zoë O'Connor, and Michelle Bardach who recently wowed audiences in Rez Gas. The band includes Newberry on keyboard, Matt Ray on guitar, Tami Sorovaiski on bass, and David Schotzko on drums.
