Burt Bacharach to Play the Long Center, 11/23

What's new, pussycat? Legendary Songwriter Burt Bacharach is headed to the Long Center! The world-famous writer of hits including Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head, Wishin' and Hopin', and I Say a Little Prayer plays Dell Hall on Sunday, November 23 at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale now staring at $39.

Joining the ranks of Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Paul Simon, Bacharach is a legend of popular music. With songs recorded Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and Neil Diamond, and tributes paid by Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, and Wynonna Judd, the live music capital of the world is getting a once-in-a-lifetime Long Center experience.

Six decades into one of songwriting's most successful and honored careers - marked by 48 Top 10 hits, nine #1 songs, more than 500 compositions and a landmark 50+year run on the charts- Burt Bacharach's music continues to set industry records and creative standards.

Bacharach is both one the greatest composers of all time and the ultra-cool cult hero of the contemporary music set. With several songs often on various music charts in many countries simultaneously, he tours the world conducting orchestras with his own musicians and singers performing his music at his sold-out concerts.
