Chubby Checker

Chubby Checker
Chubby Checker

FRIDAY • OCTOBER 19 • 7:30 PM

Orchestra: $40 | Mezzanine: $35 | Balcony: $30

In 1959, Chubby Checker rose to national prominence with his debut record, The Class. Chubby’s smash hit, “The Twist,” quickly rose to #1 on the Billboard Pop chart and the popular dance that accompanies the song was made famous by Checker with his performance on American Bandstand in 1960. The concept of “dancing apart to the beat” was born and endless songs incorporating “The Twist” into its name sprang up such as “Peppermint Twist,” “Twist and Shout” and “Twistin’ the Night Away.” At the forefront was Chubby with “The Fly,” “The Pony” and “The Hucklebuck.”

The next few years were prolific for Chubby as hit followed hit. In 1961, Chubby recorded the #1 hit “Pony Time” which stayed on the charts for 16 weeks. In between recording and touring, Chubby took time to add feature films to his portfolio with the releases of “Don’t Knock the Twist” and “Twist Around the Clock.”

Chubby Checker remains in the spotlight with his high-energy performances that continue to bring the nostalgia of time gone by to his many fans.

Between the start and finish, participants will battle the elements of water, sand, stone, wood and fire. The epic conclusion for the Max, Mini and Kids will be the opportunity to conquer Goliath in a Coliseum like setting with their very own slingshot and three stones. This unique event is one that you will not want to miss.

TOTO: 40 Trips Around the Sun

SATURDAY • OCTOBER 20 • 7:30 PM

Orchestra: $60 | Mezzanine: $55 | Balcony: $50

Historically, few ensembles in the history of recorded music have had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. With 40 years together and thousands of credits and accolades to their names, TOTO remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility. 

Widely known for their Top 5 hits such as “Africa,” “Hold the Line” and “Rosanna,” and selling over 40 million albums, TOTO’s repertoire today continues to be current via high profile usage on both broadcast television and in films. They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles that appeal to a multi-generational fan base.

With the band’s 40th anniversary, TOTO has major plans in the works to celebrate their enduring career.
