Glendale Arts & Tax Defense Group Present Bob Eubanks Backstage with the Beatles
2019-05-04 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States
There are Beatle tribute bands and books and films about The Beatles. But there has NEVER been a show like Bob Eubanks Backstage With The Beatles!
You probably know Bob as the host of The Newlywed Game, and as the co-host of the Rose Parade for Tribune Broadcasting for nearly 38 years. Bob was also a popular rock ‘n roll dee-jay. What audiences will be surprised to learn is that Bob is the only living person to have produced and financed a Beatles concert all three years they toured America.
Did you know that in 1964, Bob borrowed $25,000 on his house and presented The Beatles to Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl? In 1965 he produced two shows at the Hollywood Bowl and one in 1966 at Dodger Stadium. After that 1966 concert, there would only be one more. The Beatles would never tour again.
Bob has fascinating and hilarious never-heard-before stories about his experiences with The Beatles, their manager Brian Epstein, and the screaming throngs of fans who attended the concerts. He has put together an entertaining one-of-a-kind show that will appeal to all audiences. Backstage With The Beatles combines seldom heard stories about the ‘Fab Four’, never before seen photos of the Bob and the band, and classic Beatle songs sung live onstage by talented tribute band Ticket to Ride.
Audiences are raving about this show, and tickets have been selling out quickly!
Backstage With The Beatles is co-presented with Glendale Arts, the non-profit management company of the Alex Theatre. Proceeds from the show will go towards the Glendale Arts Programming Fund, which powers quality programming at the Alex Theatre by providing support to Resident Companies and other non-profit organizations that makes it possible for them to present their performances at the Alex.

Musical Theatre Guild Presents Sunday in the Park with George
2019-05-05 19:00 | Alex Theatre, 216 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91203, United States

Winner of the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for drama, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE is an enchanting show with a complex, beautiful, haunting score reflecting Georges Seurat’s imagined journey as he creates his most famous painting: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Then in classic Sondheim/James Lapine style it presents a second act centered around a modern-day descendant, also a George, an artist blocked and wrestling with the pursuit of his creative spark in today’s commercial world.
Act I premiered Off-Broadway in 1983 starring Bernadette Peters & Mandy Patinkin and on Broadway with both acts in 1984. It also won the Drama Desk & NY Drama Critic’s Circle Awards, was nominated for 11 Tony© Awards, & won for scenic & lighting design. Revived on Broadway in 2008 & 2017.
