Don’t Miss This Show!

From TheStudioAtMiznerPark.org:

PBS-TV star Chris Ruggiero’s Christmas show features fan favorites from his critically-acclaimed Christmas album such as “Sleigh Ride,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as songs from his 4 prior albums, all delivered in Chris’s own classic style, and accompanied by the Winter Wonderland Orchestra.

Chris has been touring the country breathing new life into vintage rock and roll tunes, in over 100 towns and cities so far! Working with the same arranger who created all the hits for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Chris has crafted unique takes on familiar standards that have landed in heavy rotation on SiriusXM and local radio stations coast-to-coast.

You may have seen him singing on Good Morning America or read about his Christmas album in Rolling Stone, but nothing compares to seeing Chris live on stage. Whether you’re a teenager of the 1960s or just love good music, don’t miss one of the most energetic and fun-filled holiday rock and roll shows you’ll ever see from one of today’s fastest-rising stars.

Just a small taste…

Fans will be instantly transported to the era of the original television show, complete with classic red button shirts and scenes reminiscent of the Rainbow Room, evoking the band’s playful, colorful style. Mark your calendars and prepare for a night that celebrates the timeless appeal of The Monkees and relive those classic hits like never before! They perform all your favorite Monkees songs live on stage, including: “Last Train to Clarksville,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Daydream Believer,” “I’m a Believer,” and many more. In addition to record-perfect renditions of Monkees classics, each performance features a dance-off, a 60’s-themed costume contest, and a unique opportunity for an audience member to come up on stage to be serenaded by “Davy”. The Monkee Men is a new and exciting tribute show created by writer/musician/vocalist Ron McNeil, founder of Emmy Award-winning Beatles tribute band, The Fab Four. The Monkee Men is a band comprised of multi-talented musicians, actors, and singers that have been selected from the best-of-the-best from all around the country.

About The Monkee Men:
HERE WE COME, WALKING DOWN THE STREET! In 1967, The Monkees outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined. Their TV show won two Emmy Awards and the band produced five multi-platinum albums and six Billboard Top 10 singles including three #1’s. Today, their music continues to enchant audiences worldwide. With the passing of three of the original Monkees, the only way to experience that great music live on stage has been through Micky Dolenz’ ongoing solo tours. Until now.

* Humor!

An old religious woman goes to a pet store to buy a parrot. Everything is fine until she brings it home. It begins to swear uncontrollably. F this, F that, F you and finally the lady can stand it no more. She grabs the bird, shoves it in the freezer, and slams the door shut. Squawking, shrieking, pounding, and cursing come out of the freezer for a few moments and then it goes quiet.

The woman is scared that she has hurt the bird and opens the freezer. The parrot walks calmly out and steps gently onto the woman’s outstretched hand. He looks into the lady’s eyes and says “Ma’am, I am truly sorry if my language offended you and it will not recur. If I may ask, what did the chicken do?”

This contest started on 7/9/26. This contest has a winner.
