You will want to style your mullet, dig those "Members Only" jackets out of storage, and arrive in your DeLorean as the band travels back to the 1980s in a celebration of film, Broadway, and popular music of the decade. Arranger Paul Murtha's medley brings Michael Jackson's Thriller, Jon Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name, and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. For Whitney Houston fans, Michael Brown provides a tribute with Saving All My Love for You and I Wanna Dance with Somebody. Perhaps the 1980s foster memories of Indiana Jones' exploits in Raiders of the Lost Ark or the time-traveling DeLorean automobile built by the eccentric scientist "Doc" Brown in Back to the Future. Broadway of the 1980s had several massive hits, but none would eclipse the 35-year run of Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, which closed on Broadway earlier this year. This concert is jam-packed with musical tributes that are certain to transport you to your younger years.
Bring your camp chair or blanket, pack a snack, and find a spot in front of the stage to enjoy the afternoon concert.
