Are you stumped for a terrific gift for your Valentine this year? How about tickets to a great Concert, or maybe even an AMT Gift Card! Here are a few ideas we think your Valentine would love.

Looking for an evening of nostalgia or romance? Why not come see The Golden Boys on February 19, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons on May 17, or Johnny Mathis on May 19?

How about a night of country music? Consider Wynonna & The Big Noise on March 1, Montgomery Gentry on May 11 or George Jones on June 3.

Is classic rock more their style? America & Jon Anderson on February 17 or Three Dog Night on April 1 are great choices.

Maybe your Valentine would prefer a night of comedy. We suggest Bill Cosby on February 18 or Brian Regan on September 27.

Also, don’t forget about our AMT Original Shows — Country Classics, opening May 2, American Icons, on stage starting July 26, and the all-new 2012 Christmas Show, debuting November 1.

With so many Concerts and Original Shows to choose from, maybe an AMT Gift Card is right for you. Not only will your Valentine love you for your thoughtfulness, but they’ll be able to select the show that suits them best.

Concert tickets and Gift Cards to AMT are the perfect Valentine’s Day choice. Unlike candy or flowers, they’re non-fattening and the petals won’t fall off!

Anyone can STOMP … or can they? STOMP returns to the AMT stage February 3 and 4 with some new surprises! A combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy, STOMP turns ordinary objects into musical instruments.

Over a period of one week, the cast of STOMP goes through quite a few “instruments,” in addition to some other things that keep the show running:
— 30 brooms
— 8 lids
— 5 bins
— 10 6?6? poles
— 15 lbs. sand
— 4 blocks athlete’s chalk
— 12 pair drumsticks
— 200 litres of water
— 8 bananas
— 12 boxes of matches

Intrigued? “Come see what all the noise is about” this weekend. Seats are still available for STOMP on Friday, February 3 at 8 pm and Saturday, February 4 at 3 & 8 pm. Call the box office at 800-648-4102, or click here to purchase your tickets online. STOMP — it’s simply amazing!

Occasionally Old Man Winter will decide to send some harsh weather our way on a day we have a Celebrity Concert scheduled. Eve ry so often we’ll have to make a weather-related decision as to whether a show will go on as planned.

AMT’s Snow Policy with regard to Celebrity Concerts is that if the artist/band arrives at AMT, the show will go on as scheduled and tickets will remain non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If the artist/band is unable to make it, and we cancel or reschedule the show, ticket holders will be notified and a message will be posted on our website.

We thank you for your understanding, and look forward to a terrific Celebrity Concert season with no weather-related concerns!

We’re so excited for the next two shows coming to the AMT stage — Roots & Boots at 8 pm on Friday, January 27 and Bill Engvall at 3 and 7 pm on Sunday, January 29.

Looking for a chance to see three incredible country music stars in one great country concert? Here’s your chance! Sammy Kershaw, Joe Diffie and Aaron Tippin join forces in the Roots & Boots tour to swap stories and perform many of their timeless hit songs. They’ll be sharing the stage, presenting an acoustic concert not to be missed. Three stars for one great ticket price! Click here to get your tickets now!

Comedian Bill Engvall told Randall Mielke of the Chicago Sun Times that “When I perform, I liken my act to a bunch of friends just getting together to have a good time. I’m like the guy next door,” Bill told the reporter. “I view my show like we’re all just sitting around like neighbors and I happen to be the funny one.” Engvall finds humor in everyday situations — “People identify with what I have to say.” Come identify! Get your tickets now!

The date for the Chicago concert, originally scheduled for Sund ay, May 6, is being changed at the artists’ request. This show will be rescheduled to a date in the Fall — the ticket on sale date will be announced soon.

Please check AMTshows.com for further details as they become available.
