Tickets: $175, $95, $75, $45, $25
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but for now, at least, rubies have great meaning in the life of Engelbert Humperdinck as they symbolize 40th anniversaries. It was just over four decades ago that music's "King Of Romance" emerged as one of the foremost entertainers in the world. Marking the 40th anniversary of when he first reached international acclaim, "Enge," as he is known to fans and friends alike, has just completed a worldwide tour which took him to over 100 cities.

 | David Bromberg Big Band Presented by: Count Basie Theatre
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)
The NY Times calls David Bromberg “electrifying.” The Basie audience
knows his 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 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…” His most recent
releases are the Grammy nominated Try Me One More (2007), of which Variety
said, “A master with nothing left to prove to himself or to others, Bromberg
made this album to enjoy, not to impress. Though naturally, it accomplishes
both,” and Live New York City 1982 (2008), which the Philadelphia Daily News
reviewed as, “An amazing concert date…the performances are killer.”
