TheatreZone in Naples has announced its 2021-22 season concerts.
The concert series includes the return of the extremely popular Mersey Beatles, who have sold out shows on its stage for the past four seasons, as well as a world premiere and three great new concerts: Simon & Garfunkel: Live in Central Park, revisited; The Feud: Sinatra & Rosselli, Two Guys from Hoboken; The Mersey Beatles; Mack is Back: The Music of Bobby Darin; and Larry Alexander: Broadway and Back.
TheatreZone’s first concert event of the season, Simon & Garfunkel: Live in Central Park, revisited, will be presented at 4 and 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 17, 2022. In September 1981, this iconic folk rock duo’s free benefit concert drew 500,000 people and became the seventh-largest concert attended to date in U.S. history. Performed with proceeds benefiting the redevelopment and maintenance of Central Park, the set list for this tribute concert includes such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Mrs. Robinson,” “The Boxer” and “Late in the Evening.”
On Jan. 29, at 2 and 7:30 p.m., TheatreZone will host the world premiere of The Feud: Sinatra & Roselli: Two Guys from Hoboken, The Story and The Music. The Feud is based on the 40 plus-year professional and personal relationship between Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Roselli, both great singers who lived on the same block in Hoboken, N.J. Once Sinatra was hired by Harry James, his career skyrocketed, and he became a legend in motion pictures as well as music. Roselli, on the other hand, was a true saloon singer, working in small nightclubs and beer halls for years until he started to achieve success in his early thirties.
“The world premiere of The Feud is a fascinating story with a unique premise, and it features songs everyone will know and enjoy,” says Danni. “It’s a memory play by Dennis DelleFave, the former road manager for Jimmy Roselli, and it illustrates so many of the different stories and events that he lived through.”
The Mersey Beatles will return to TheatreZone’s stage on Feb. 22 (4 and 7:30 p.m.) to perform its all-new “Favorites of Naples” show. These fan-favorite concerts include beautifully designed costumes, as well as replica guitars, amplifiers and drums, creating an authentic look and sound of the Beatles. Like the original Fab Four, The Mersey Beatles are a band from the great city of Liverpool. These childhood friends share a love of Beatles music, and will perform hits spanning 40+ years, with special emphasis on the songs TheatreZone’s Naples audience espouses.
Mack is Back: The Music of Bobby Darin will be presented on Feb. 24 at 4 and 7:30 p.m. Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, film and television actor. This special show honors the legacy of Darin’s career, which spans genres and generations, with popular songs like “Splish Splash,” “Mack The Knife,” “Dream Lover,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Artificial Flowers,” “Clementine,” “That’s All,” and more.
On March 14 at 7:30 p.m., fan favorite Larry Alexander returns to TheatreZone for one performance of Larry Alexander: Broadway and Back…, the story of how a boy from Tampa gets to New York and ends up in one the greatest musicals in Broadway history. The show will include some of the audience’s favorite Broadway songs as well as stories about the people, some famous, some not, that he met along the way.
