Richard Marx News

Big hair and dreams have come to the Paramount. No, it's not "Hairspray" or even "Hair" (since we just had that one). No, fast forward about 20 years from that one and you have the 80's rock musical "Rock of Ages". And while no one could accuse the show of being deep or important, it's certainly loud, goofy and fun!

The pairing of two talented artists on one show is always twice the enjoyment--and--often a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience. Just such an offering is on tap as an intimate Valentine for fans of Richard Marx and Matt Scannell, who'll perform at PlayhouseSquare's Ohio Theatre, Sunday February 13 at 7 pm.

The Recording Academy® announced its Special Merit Awards recipients and this year's group includes: Julie Andrews, Roy Haynes, Juilliard String Quartet, The Kingston Trio, Dolly Parton, Ramones, and George Beverly Shea as Lifetime Achievement Award honorees.

Multi-platinum album selling and award-winning singer, songwriter and producer Richard Marx returns to The Orleans Showroom for two nights, March 12 and 13, each evening at 8 p.m.
