CATS is the longest running, most popular, North American touring production in history!

There’s no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of CATS. What began as a musical about cats, after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems by T. S. Eliot in an airport bookshop, has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway’s history. Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, CATS features 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s timeless melodies, including the hit song “Memory.” It’s America’s favorite family musical, and a memory to last nine lifetimes.

Coming this Thursday, March 1, Wynonna & the Big Noise make their AMT debut. Wynonna’s journey as one half of legendary country duo The Judds, with her mother Naomi, provides one of the most fascinating stories in country music history.

Since striking out on her own in the early ’90s, Wynonna has gone on to not only be a tremendously successful solo artist, but she’s also a New York Times bestselling author thanks to her candid 2005 memoir Coming Home to Myself. Recently, Wynonna recorded the original song “Whatever Brings You Back” for the just released Navy SEAL action-thriller Act of Valor.

“There’s one thing I’ve always wanted to do,” Southside Johnny confesses, “and that is to sing.” He has been doing just that for over a third of a century.

An exuberant rhythm and blues feel is Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes‘ trademark. The driving sound of their legendary horn section transports the band to their classic, jubilant, “let’s play all night” mood.

“I grew up on music,” Johnny said. “We listened to Billie Holiday, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters and Big Joe Turner. My parents loved music — the louder the better.”

Over the years, Southside Johnny (so nicknamed because of his bent toward the Blues sounds of the Southside of Chicago,) played in a number of blues and R&B bands, often joined by pals Bruce Springsteen, “Miami Steve” Van Zandt, and Garry Tallent.

“I’ll stack my group against any group out there. We enjoy playing, and the audience enjoys having a good time. Music is a shared emotion. We distill it down to that,” Johnny said.

When you distill Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, you come down to 35 years of great music and good times.

First, on Friday, February 17, it’s America and Jon Anderson. Vocalists/guitarists Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, the founding members of iconic folk-group America, have reason to celebrate these days. On Monday, February 6, America celebrated their 40-year career milestone with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition, Time Life released new, acoustic versions of their biggest and most treasured songs recorded during their 40th anniversary year at the legendary Troubadour club in Los Angeles.
Jon Anderson is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable voices in progressive rock as the lead vocalist and creative force behind YES. Anderson co-authored some of the group’s biggest hits, including “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout,” and “Owner Of A Lonely Heart.”

On Saturday, February 18, legendary funny-man Bill Cosby returns to the AMT stage. This multi-award winning comedian, actor and author can now add a new award to his resume. This past November, Mr. Cosby was named a 2012 Grammy Hall of Fame recording inductee for his comedy album, I Started Out As A Child. On his website, Mr. Cosby said “We initially released the album in November of 1964 on the Warner Brothers label. With tracks like Sneakers, Christmas Time, and Rigor Mortis… I still smile when I think about the laughs this album produced!”

Then on Sunday, February 19, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, and Bobby Rydell — The Golden Boys — will be in the house. In the 1950’s, Philadelphia’s own Frankie, Fabian and Bobby were all considered teen idols, each having successful singing and performing careers. After years of flying solo, they decided to band together and first performed as The Golden Boys in 1985. In a recent interview with Mark Voger of the Newark, NJ based Star-Ledger, Bobby Rydell recalled “When we did the first tour, there wasn’t a moment when we didn’t leave the stage laughing, just having a ball. To tell you the truth, we all thought, ‘How long is this going to last? A year? Two, tops?’ Well, this is 2011 and we’re still doing it!”

Where can you catch great comedy and terrific music all in the same weekend? At AMT, of course!

Coming this Friday, February 10, it’s Canadian funny-man Howie Mandel. Howie started his career on a dare during a trip to LA in 1979. He was at the legendary Comedy Store on amateur night and was coaxed by his friends to get up and try his luck. That fateful night lead to a career in TV, film and stage. Howie can currently be seen on the TV series “MOBBED,” an unscripted show that puts a hidden-camera spin on the “flash mob” concept. Then this summer, he’ll return as one of the judges on “America’s Got Talent.”

The next evening, Saturday, February 11, we welcome the Aussie soft rock group Air Supply, and the lead singer of The Babys and Bad English, John Waite. With their heavily orchestrated, sweet ballads, Air Supply scored a string of seven straight Top Five singles. Vocalists Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell met while performing in a Sydney, Australia production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1976. The two singers formed a partnership and with the addition of four supporting musicians, Air Supply was born.
As a solo artist and a lead singer, English rocker John Waite has a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop as well. In 2011, the title track from his tenth solo album “Rough and Tumble” went number one on Classic Rock radio.
