The Forbidden Love Story Of Bobby Darin & Connie Francis

This musical tells the tragic love story of two Italian-American music icons, Bobby Darin and Connie Francis. This unforgettable show blends heartfelt storytelling, authentic dialogue, and all of their greatest hits, brought to life with Broadway-quality musicians and performances. Fresh from the Off-Broadway stages of NYC, Forbidden Love stars Westchester’s own Vanessa Racci as Connie and Charlie Romo as Bobby, turning the pages of their autobiographies into a moving theatrical experience filled with true anecdotes, timeless music, and show-stopping talent!

Review: “Together, these two vocalists, with a penchant for the vintage, have created a program that allows them to show off superb vocals and their love for the two star-crossed lovers of their idolatry.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World ‘23

***** Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, 8170 Glades Road K-2, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561)465-3274.

Got a real good Italian Ice/Soft Serve Ice Cream/Gelati joint for you guys to checkout, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in Boca Raton.

Real simple tale to tell, Jeremiah’s is a fast growing Italian Ice franchise (since 2019) which currently has stores spread-out over Florida. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. Three weeks ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff “discovered” Jeremiah’s Boca Raton joint and have been back 5 times since that initial outing. Order/pickup at inside counter/outside walk-up windows, handful of inside/outside tables, reasonably priced- 40 rotating and seasonal Italian Ice flavors/ vanilla-chocolate soft serve/ loads of toppings menu.

Now, just between you and me, I kinda think that I know my Italian Ices and Soft Serve Ice Cream and I’m telling you guys that Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is turning out absolutely delicious stuff!

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been to Jeremiah’s 6 times (between 7:30-9:30pm) and each and every time- there were lines both inside and outside with people waiting to order. In addition, every table inside/ outside was taken. Of interest, all ages were there.

Not sure as to how it all plays out franchise wise, but for right now, the Jeremiah’s (which opened in Boca Raton on June 28th, 2021)) looks like a home-run business!

Checkout jeremiahsice.com for locations/menu/prices/info.

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is open, Sunday-Thursday noon-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-11pm.

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.

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.

Table/booth seating/ full eat at liquor bar, decor wise- unlike many upscale steakhouses that favor dark dreary wood and dim lights Hyde Park is brightly lit by loads of chandeliers with walls covered with all kinds of interesting art -work and photographs, REASONABLY PRICED full boat menu of expected appetizers/ salads/ soups/ steaks/ seafood/ entrees/ sides/ desserts, happy hour, early bird specials.

Let’s wrap-up Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse by saying- it’s an absolute must try! Dynamite Food Priced Right…a waitstaff that knows exactly what it’s doing…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, unless you are a fancy schmancy person -you will absolutely love this joint! Delicious food and the staff is as pleasant and knowledgeable as can be.

* JAY & THE AMERICANS (Mardi Gras Casino, Hallandale Beach)

Just wanted to give you 1960’s Rock N Roll aficionados a heads up…on Tuesday Night, October 15, 2013 one of Rock’s legendary groups -Jay And The Americans will be in concert at the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach. Don’t have ticket pricing-yet, but if the Mardi Gras Casino “prices” tickets like it did for its recent -The Lovin’ Spoonful and The Grass Roots’ concerts—don’t worry, you won’t have to get a second job to pay for your seats. By the way, Jeff Eats attended both of those concerts (which were held outdoors in the Grandstand area) and the bands and the casino put on fabulous shows…you just gotta pray for good weather!

Just a drop of history…

JAY AND THE AMERICANS with hits such as “She Cried”–“This Magic Moment”–“Cara Mia”–“Come A Little Bit Closer”-“Walking In The Rain”–“Some Enchanted Evening”–“Only In America” has had three lead singers…John Traynor, Jay Black and Jay Reincke. For what it’s worth, way back when—in 1975 Jay Traynor’s mother was Jeff Eats’ legal secretary when he worked for D’Amato, Costello & Shea in New York City. Now catch this one, Mrs. Jeff Eats when she was 13 years old, baby-sat for Jay Black’s son when Jay lived in Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Jeff Eats and Jay Black (his real name is David Blatt, but don’t tell anyone) lived in the same apartment building -The Phillip Howard on Flatbush Avenue…and no I can’t tell you what year it was- because Mrs. Jeff Eats would kill me if I did. Sorry, no “history” with Jay Reincke the newest of the bunch -as he is originally from Chicago and Jeff Eats only connection to that City is that his cousin Bobby -a major-heavyweight SEC attorney has lived there since 1975.

Anyway…keep an eye on www.mardigrasfl.com for details.

One final note…check-out Jay And The Americans at www.jayandtheamericans.net. The site has a real-interesting “biography” on the group and its lead singers.
