On February 10, 2022 the Academy of Country Music announced the nominations for the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards. American Music Theatre was selected as a nominee in the Theater of the Year category. This marks the second time that AMT has been honored with an ACM nomination.

A Bronx Tale: One Man Show starring Chazz Palminteri
Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 7:30pm
Tickets: $59, $49, $39

A Bronx Tale is an autobiographical one-man show written and performed by Chazz Palminteri. It tells the coming-of-age story of Calogero Anello, a young New Yorker torn between the temptations of organized crime and the values of his hardworking father. Written in 1988, Palminteri brings each and every character to life (18 in all,) including his friends and enemies — even his own family. A Bronx Tale hit the silver screen in 1993 after film star Robert De Niro, wanting to direct for the first time, saw the potential of the project. Palminteri played one of the flashier roles, Sonny, a gangster, in the movie version.

Piff the Magic Dragon, accompanied by his sidekick Mr. Piffles, the world’s only magic performing chihuahua, has won several Best of Las Vegas awards for his long-running show at the iconic Flamingo Hotel & Casino. He was a viral sensation on Penn & Teller: Fool Us and voted one of Variety’s Top Ten Comics to watch. In 2020, Piff triumphed over his heroes Jeff Ross, Natasha Leggero, and Judah Friedlander when he was crowned winner of TBS’ Tournament of Laughs.
Puddles Pity Party, the sad, giant clown with the golden voice, has amassed over 813K YouTube subscribers and performed sold out shows all over the globe including The Kennedy Center in DC, San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, London’s Soho Theatre, and a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Deftly combining melancholy with the absurd, Puddles has become a favorite of musical comedy legends like Eric Idle, Jack Black, Paul Reubens, and Weird Al. He has even won the approval of his long-standing man-crush and modern-day Renaissance Man, Kevin Costner.
Not bad for two “losers” from America’s Got Talent! These satin-adorned down-and-outers have been pals since they first met ages ago at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Neither is easily amused, but when offered the chance to play a double bill, they both agreed it was a pretty good idea, and thus was born The Piff and Puddles Misery Loves Company Tour.
A Piff & Puddles Pre-Show Party Package is available – click here for more info.
