brombergshotDavid Bromberg Big Band
Presented by: Count Basie Theatre

Friday, March 18, 2011, 8:00 PM

Basie audiences know David Bromberg's sold out concerts to be the most musically satisfying evening of the year. A romp through the blues, country, jazz and folk by a consummate master, backed by a 12-piece band, the NY Times says, "He has such control of his audience that he can, at one moment, hold it in his hand with a tender, touching yet funny anecdotal song, and then set it romping and stomping."

Tickets: $49.50, $35, $25
(Discounts available for groups of 12 or more. Call the box office at 732-842-9000 to purchase group rate tickets)

brianreganBrian Regan
Presented by: Count Basie Theatre

2 SHOWS:
Saturday, April 30, 2011, 7:00 PM & 9:30 PM


Audiences, critics and other comics agree: Brian Regan is one of today's premier comedians, and they fill theatres nationwide to laugh at his sophisticated writing and physical performances. His observational humor about everyday events like shipping a package, visiting the optometrist, little league baseball, spelling bees and science projects are relatively "clean" and profanity-free, and resonate with a fanbase ranging from young tastemakers to middle-aged adults. He recently made his 20th appearance on David Letterman's show, and he's a regular on the shows of Jon Stewart, Conan O'Brien, Dennis Miller and Jay Leno.

Tickets: $49.50, $39.50, $29.50
(Discounts available for groups of 12 or more. Call the box office at 732-842-9000 to purchase group rate tickets)
