An awesome collection of legendary entertainers will be performing at the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, with Winter Dance Party, Sinatra 101, and John Denver’s Rocky Mountain Christmas in November and December 2016, and more in the New Year.

Fabulous shows paying tribute to Frank Sinatra and John Denver, plus Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, are set to help theater-goers celebrate the upcoming holidays, with more to come in the New Year from 3,000 Miles Off-Broadway productions.

John Mueller’s Winter Dance Party, November 11th, 12th and 13th, is an authentic recreation of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper’s final concert tour that rocked the music world. It is the only show endorsed by the Holly, Valens and Richardson estates. “The show features the greatest rock’n’roll hits performed by artists who can thrill audiences like the original legends,” reported producer Ron Kurtz, head of 3,000 Miles Off-Broadway.

Ol’ Blue Eyes is back in a unique musical show Sinatra 101, November 26th at 3pm and 8pm, featuring Matt Mauser and The 101 Big Band. Kurtz explained, “The reason the show is called Sinatra 101 isn’t just because it’s his 101st birthday. It’s also because the show is presented as a ‘class’ with Matt Mauser as a professor who helps the audience learn more about Sinatra and his music.” And Mauser’s golden voice recreates the Sinatra magic with his impeccable phrasing and smooth ring-a-ding-ding style.

Taking a page from the Count Basie Orchestra, The 101 Big Band provides the Vegas arrangements for Mauser to croon the greatest hits. It’s a classy show and perfect for the whole family to enjoy on Thanksgiving weekend.
