Due to recent back surgery, YES drummer Alan White will miss the Monday, July 25 concert at AMT.

Hurricane founding drummer Jay Schellen, who has also played with Asia and World Trade, will fill in for White while he recuperates.

White posted a letter on the group’s website, explaining that after leaving halfway through YES’ spring European tour, he worked with spinal specialists to explore treatment options and eventually underwent surgery to repair an injured disc in his lower back.

We wish Alan a speedy recovery, and look forward to being the first stop on YES’ Album Series tour. Tickets are still available for the 7:30 p.m. concert on July 25 — click here.

Due to a new Broadway commitment, the Kristin Chenoweth concert, originally scheduled for Sunday, October 9, has been rescheduled to Saturday, January 21, 2017 at 8pm.

One of the greatest soul groups of the early 1970s, The Spinners created a body of work that defined the lush, seductive sound of Philly soul, even though the band’s roots lay in Detroit, where they formed as a doo wop group during the late 1950s. The Spinners recorded a number of soul classics, including “I’ll Be Around,” “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love,” “Mighty Love,” “Ghetto Child,” “Then Came You,” “Games People Play,” and “The Rubberband Man.”
Little Anthony and The Imperials began as a rhythm and blues/soul/doo wop group in the 1950s. Lead singer Jerome Anthony “Little Anthony” Gourdine was noted for his high-pitched falsetto voice. The group’s first single, “Tears on My Pillow,” was an instant hit, as was the B-side of the record, “Two People in the World.” They followed up with “Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko Ko Bop,” and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

4DF graphic This summer, American Music Theatre is proud to partner with Four Diamonds and Penn State Health Children’s Hospital to present our “Crooners Conquer Childhood Cancer” fundraising efforts.

Back in 1969, Christopher Millard was 11 years old when he was first diagnosed with cancer. Shortly before he lost his 3-year battle with cancer, he wrote a story about a great knight who sought out the four diamonds of Courage, Wisdom, Honesty, and Strength in order to be released from the grips of an evil sorceress. These diamonds symbolized the attributes that Chris believed were necessary to overcome cancer. In honor of their son, Chris’ parents, Charles and Irma Millard, founded Four Diamonds to assist children and their families in their fight against childhood cancer.

Crooners is AMT’s 2016 Original Show that celebrates the most popular and enduring songs from the 1920s through the 1950s, along with recent hits from today’s modern, soulful musicians. Many of the “Crooners” featured in the show were known for their charitable giving and supported numerous philanthropic causes, with cancer research and childhood issues among them. American Music Theatre is honored to continue the “Crooners” tradition as we join Four Diamonds in the fight against childhood cancer.

The Four Diamonds mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative research.

Each year, Four Diamonds provides direct support to approximately 600 children with cancer — 100 who are newly diagnosed and 500 who are continuing their fight. Since its creation in 1972, Four Diamonds has helped more than 3,600 children and families and supported a diverse platform of childhood cancer research at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital, seeking improved treatments and cures to benefit those around the world.

Please consider helping our “Crooners Conquer Childhood Cancer” efforts with your donation to Four Diamonds today. Monetary donations can be made in person at designated collection boxes at the AMT Box Office and Concession stand areas, or online by clicking here. In addition, AMT will be selling wristbands and necklaces in our Gift Shop with 100% of the proceeds going to Four Diamonds.
