Drury Lane Theatre Presents Multi-Faceted Star & Music Legend: FRANKIE AVALON for 2 Days Only!

Chart-topping 50’s and 60’s
superstar Frankie Avalon will entertain audiences at Drury Lane Theatre,
100 Drury Lane, for two performances only on Monday, May 19 at 1:30 p.m. and
Tuesday, May 20 at 1:30 p.m. Avalon will perform his greatest hits
including "Venus,” "Why,” "De De Dinah,” "Gingerbread,”
"Cupid," and "Beauty School Dropout.” Drury Lane Theatre will
also offer audiences a lunch and concert option at its acclaimed dining room.



A brilliant, young performer and
musician, Frankie Avalon started his career in Philadelphia in the
1950’s in local TV talent contests. After an appearance on Dick Clark's
teen dance show “New American Bandstand,” Avalon quickly became America’s
teenage idol and had a long string of Gold Record singles and albums. His smash
hits include "Venus” and "Why," which skyrocketed to #1 on the
Billboard Hot 100. Avalon had 31 charted Billboard U.S. singles
from 1958 to late 1962, including "Just Ask Your Heart" (U.S. #7),
"I'll Wait For You" (U.S. #15), "Bobby Sox to Stockings"
(U.S. #8), and "A Boy Without a Girl" (U.S. #10.) Avalon has
also starred in over 30 successful motion pictures. He and Annette Funicello
starred in a number of popular "beach" comedy movies including Beach
Party
and Beach Blanket Bingo, and his role as “Teen Angel” in the
smash hit film Grease introduced him to a new generation of fans. Avalon
is currently one of the busiest nightclub performers in the country and
frequently performs to sold-out crowds in Las Vegas, Miami Beach and New York
City. In 1995, he was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 



Frankie Avalon will perform on Monday, May 19 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, May
20 at 1:30 p.m. at Drury Lane Theatre. Single tickets are $65. Show and meal
tickets are $80. Theatre subscriber and group discounts are available. For
