As founding members of
Monty Python,
John Cleese and
Eric Idle are unarguably among the godfathers of modern comedy, helping to pioneer an irreverent, absurdist sensibility that is emulated by comics around the world. As individuals, they have written, performed and produced some of the most beloved and critically-acclaimed shows of all-time like
Spamalot,
A Fish Called Wanda,
Fawlty Towers and
The Rutles. In
Together Again At Last...For The Very First Time, Cleese and Idle will blend scripted and improvised bits with storytelling, musical numbers, exclusive footage and aquatic juggling to create a unique comedic experience with every performance. No two shows are quite the same, thus ensuring that every audience feels like they're seeing
Together Again At Last... For The Very First Time, for the very first time.
Over the course of more than a dozen years and six studio albums,
Amos Leehas continued to evolve, develop, and challenge himself as a musician. Touring in support of his recent single, the R&B-infused cut "Vaporize," and his new album,
Spirit, set top come out August 19, 2016, Lee makes his biggest creative leap yet. The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter's sense of ambition for the new album largely derived from his own live performing experiences in recent years. "Working with folks like the LA Philharmonic and the Mobile, Alabama Community Gospel Choir opened my mind to the possibility of pushing
The Edges of arrangement away from solitary moments into more collaborative, community experiences," he says. "These were transformative creative opportunities that I never dreamed I would have. To stand on stage and be equal parts participant and observer during these career-defining moments was such a thrill, and I credit the singers, arrangers, and conductors for being so open and generous to the songs."
The Center welcomes audiences of all ages to celebrate this holiday season with the celestial voices of multi-platinum Irish singing sensation
