At
the March 1st meeting we will present the
Joey Vincent a “One-Man
Musical Variety Show”.
Joey is a musical impressionist, a trumpet virtuoso, a singer, dancer
and comic. No matter what your tastes are in entertainment, the Joey
Vincent Show has something for everyone. More than just music, more
than just comedy, his show is fresh and original! Fast-paced humor,
rapid-fire costume change, Impressions, and a musical tribute to the
trumpet greats are just part of the fun. He will tailor his “Italian
Show” just for us including Louis Prima medley, Luciano Pavarotti,
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennet to name a few. The cost
for dinner and the show will be $15/person.
The
food committee will prepare Pasta/Meatballs, salad, bread and dessert
(TBD). It is a tremendous show. You can find out more about the Joey
Vincent Show at
www.Joey.Vincent.com . Tickets will be sold ahead of time.

Tony n' Tina's Wedding
The Longest Running
Show in Off-Broadway History! |
|
About the Show
Since opening
February 14th, 1988 in New York City this unique theatrical experience
has won over the hearts of thousands of people, in over 100 cities
worldwide, including Japan, Australia and many European cities.
At Tony n'
Tina's Wedding, audience members actually play the roles of
Tony n' Tina's family and/or friends. These are roles we have all
been practicing, every time we go to a real wedding. This universal
familiarity with the union of two individuals from 2 distinct
families, regardless as to where you are from, will take you back and
forth between fantasy and reality throughout the entire evening. For
the ultimate experience... eat, drink, dance, converse and allow
yourself to be caught up in the activities. This all inclusive evening
of entertainment will be something you and your friends will be
talking about for many years to come.
All prices
are in lieu of a gift to the happy couple and include the show,
dancing, and dinner although menus may vary depending upon the
specific venue in which you are attending.
How
to Dress:
We recommend you dress like you are going to any family wedding.
Tina's mom, Mrs. V says she would not even have to tell everyone not
to wear t-shirts, sneakers or jeans. But knowing what Tony's family
was wearing at their last family wedding she wants to make sure it's
perfectly clear. And trust me they will be looking carefully as to
who's dressed appropriately and who isn't. Between her and Joey they
are like the fashion police.
Those who
are not dressed appropriately will not be asked to leave but... they
are subject to questioning as to "why?" from the mother of the bride.
So, come as you must. The only thing worse than dressing
inappropriately is not coming to the wedding at all.
Note: the menu
from show to show varies. We try to maintain a consistent menu, but
due to different geographic locations, show meals will vary.
VIP inclusions change based on location; not all cities offer the
champagne toast please.
