STAR OF WARNER BROS. JERSEY BOYS MOVIE
Music Direction by Tommy Faragher
Spend an unforgettable evening with John Lloyd Young, the Tony and
Grammy winning original Frankie Valli from Broadway’s Jersey Boys
as well as the star of the Clint Eastwood-directed Jersey Boys Warner
Bros. film. As a concert artist, Young has taken his expertly-curated
repertoire of classic pop and R&B to sold-out audiences, thrilling
his fans with a “disciplined one-in-a-million high tenor shading into
falsetto that he can direct through the stratosphere” (The New York
Times). Young will sing not only the Four Seasons but also other giants
of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s as well as spine-tingling, soul-bearing
showstoppers that shaped his earliest Broadway aspirations.

NEIL DIAMOND
STARRING MATT VEE, NEPHEW OF 60’s POP-STAR BOBBY VEE
With songs like “Cracklin’ Rosie,” “Song Sung Blue,” “America, Brother

penned songs recorded by everyone from Elvis Presley to Deep Purple
and, of course, the Monkee’s classic, “I’m A Believer.”
“This is a celebration of an amazing musical icon, one we all love
and respect. We have recruited an incredible group of singers and
players and have gone back to the original records,” Tommy Vee explains,
“It is all about the vocals and Matt nails it! It’s a rockin’ show!”

MISS NELSON HAS A FIELD DAY
Book, Music & Lyrics by Joan Cushing
Based upon the book MISS NELSON HAS A FIELD DAY by Harry Allard and James Marshall.
Produced by Dallas Children’s Theater from Dallas, Texas
Best for Grades: K-5th
10:30 a.m. school performance • 6:30 p.m. public performance
Return to Horace B. Smedley School where the Smedley Tornadoes have never
won a football game. In fact, they have never even scored a single point!
With such a poor record and a team that is out of control, kind-hearted Miss
Nelson comes to the rescue when she enlists the help of her alter ego, the
ill-tempered Miss Viola Swamp, to coach the team and whip them into shape.
Considered by all to be “the meanest substitute teacher in the whole world,”
Coach Swamp applies her trademark discipline to the players’ training, demanding
tough exercises and no back talk. In the end, the team changes their attitude, pulls
together, sharpens their skills, and manages to win the biggest game of the year.
