Celebrate with The Glorious Irish Tenor,  Ronan Tynan!
Ronan Tynan, introduced to international audiences as a member of the Irish Tenors, became known for his unique voice and irresistible appeal.  His legs were amputated in his twenties due to a childhood disability, but he went on to become a medical doctor, international recording star and motivational speaker. Tynan rose to great fame in New York after 9/11 performing at many benefits and memorials for fallen members of the NYPD and FDNY. His performance at the Yankee games in those dark months cemented his legend. His album, Ronan, with the heartfelt song "Passing Through" honoring his mother who suffers from Alzheimer’s, was the 8th best-selling classical album of 2005.  ONE NIGHT ONLY Monday, March 15th!

Don’t miss the OSCARS on Sunday! Our good friend, Maury Yeston, the composer / lyricist for NINE, was nominated for Best Original Song!  His haunting song, "Take It All", is sung by Luisa (Marion Cotillard), Guido Contini’s wife in the film. It replaces the song  "Be On Your Own" which Luisa sings in the stage version. Both are equally impressive!  NINE, the movie, was also nominated for ART DIRECTION (John Myhre), SET DECORATION (Gordon Sim), COSTUME DESIGN (Colleen Atwood) and BEST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE (Penelope Cruz).
Let’s Cheer MAURY on & then come see NINE,  the STAGE MUSICAL ….as it was ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED..in full splendor at WBT! Starring Robert Cuccioli & Glory Crampton. CHE MERAVIGLIA!

Jack Jones will appear on the WBT STAGE on March 1, 2010!

Jack Jones is an important musical force known for his unparalleled voice and a career that spans jazz, popular songs and show tunes. Jones is considered one of the best exponents of the great American songbook.

WBT is thrilled to have Jack and his ensemble; Mike Renzi on Piano, Chris Colangelo on Bass, and Kendall Kay on Drums, for this exciting one night only concert!

Inspired after seeing Frank Sinatra perform at his high school, Jack Jones decided to pursue a music career. His first demo, on which he sang “This Could Be the Start of Something Big” captured the attention of a club owner who booked Jones for a three week run. The performances

gave Jones valuable exposure, and he was signed to a music label.

His rise to the top has included consistently sold-out shows and more than 50 albums - 17 of them charting Billboard’s Top 20 - including “The Race Is On”, “Lady”, “Call Me Irresponsible”, and “What I did for Love”. The legendary crooner won two Grammys for “Best Male Vocal Performance,” and he was nominated for the songs “The Impossible Dream”, “Wives and Lovers”, “Lollipops and Roses” and the album “Jack Jones Paints a Tribute to Tony Bennett”, in which Jones pays homage to his longtime friend and American icon. The New York Times proclaimed: “Note for note phase by phrase, he is arguably the most technically accomplished male pop singer of a vanishing ilk.”

In addition to a successful recording career, Jones has performed to wide applause in musical theater, appearing in Guys and Dolls, South Pacific, She Loves Me, and The Pajama Game. He also received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Don Quixote in the national tour of Man of La Mancha. He was a staple on television variety shows in the 60s and 70s including: Toast Of The Town (also known as The Ed Sullivan Show), The Andy Williams Show, The Smothers Brother Comedy Hour, Bandstand, and The Steve Allen Show. Many Americans recognize Jones’ voice on the theme song for the popular television series The Love Boat, on which he also guest-starred. In the early summer of 2008 the world’s most recognized hotel brand, Holiday Inn

Hotels and Resorts, launched their “M.B.A.” (Master is Business Accommodations)

marketing campaign bringing the timeless voice of Jack Jones singing a new recording of The Love Boat Theme. Jones also recently shared his voice with a whole new generation when he sang “Boat of Romance” as part of an episode on the emmy nominated Disney Channel animated musical television series Phineas and Ferb.

Celebrate The Season with The Wonders of Christmases Past & Present in this Merry Journey!

The Cast Of THE CHRISTMAS VOYAGER in Dickens’ England.

This Delightful Holiday Musical is a true celebration of the Season. All the splendor of Christmas is brought to life in a magical journey through Yuletides past. The holiday songs we all know and love are wrapped up in a heartwarming celebration of spirit that will delight audiences of all ages.  Lost in a future time and desperate to return to his home galaxy, our Starman journeys back through time searching for that magical December 24th evening when three brilliant stars came together and changed the course of history.  Knowing that these same stars will set him on the right course toward home, Noel journeys around the world and touches down in a small town in America, The North Pole, Dickens’ England and many other places on his quest. 

Our terrific cast includes Nick Gaswirth, as Noel, the Starman, Ellen Condon, David Edwards, Jayson Elliott, Stacia Fernandez, Jonathan Stahl, and Karen Zondag with local children, Sofia Singer and Sophia Toppo..

The Book of  The Christmas Voyager was written By Robert Fitzsimmons and Kathy Wheeler and Musical arrangements are by Steven Silverstein.  Robert Fitzsimmons, who passed away in 1992, wrote The Christmas Voyager, as well as several other Christmas Shows which he directed and produced here at WBT and at An Evening Dinner Theatre.
