A must see! Join us for this vibrant show starring Ben Vereen, the Tony Award-winning actor, dancer, and singer known for his wide-ranging roles and performances over the past 45 years. The show features the music of Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, and the best of Broadway. On Broadway, Vereen has appeared in Wicked, Fosse, I'm Not Rappaport, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pippin, Jelly's Last Jam, and A Christmas Carol. His role in Pippin garnered him both a Tony Award and the Drama Desk Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

In 2012, Mr. Vereen was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame and the National Museum of Dance Hall of Fame.
