America, My Home: A Veterans Day Tribute Starring Alex-Zsolt
This Veterans Day, internationally acclaimed pianist Alex-Zsolt brings his moving patriotic program, "America, My Home," to The Sharon Theater. Born to Hungarian-American parents who fled to the United States after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Alex grew up with a deep appreciation for the freedom and opportunities this nation provides.
For over 27 years, Alex has captivated audiences with his high-energy performances, collaborated with Grammy Award-winning musicians, and released twenty studio albums. His performances have ranged from Disney's historic El Capitan Theatre to some of our nation's presidential libraries and museums. To Alex, America is where dreams come true, and every note he plays reflects his gratitude and reverence. This Veterans Day, join Alex-Zsolt for a heartfelt tribute that honors the sacrifice, resilience, and hope that define our nation.
YES, who are Steve Howe (guitars, vocals), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals, acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums). Are currently touring their “The Fragile Tour 2025, The Album Series”.
At these shows, the progressive rock titans will perform their iconic Fragile album in its entirety along with classics cuts from their legendary body of work. The multi-platinum album features their signature songs “Roundabout,” “Long Distance Runaround,” and “Heart of the Sunrise.” Fragile, the band’s fourth studio album, was released in the UK in November 1971 and in the US in January 1972. The “Fragile Tour” is regarded as a key moment in YES’ history — it’s when the band became a headline act in the US.
CHRIS FUNK’S REDEFINING WONDER is an engaging multimedia experience that has audiences talking and scratching their heads for years to come. Finally, a MAGIC SHOW WITH LIVE MUSIC! Chris has pioneered the use of instruments like the violin, guitar, sax and more into his illusions. His parents wanted him to be a musician, but he wanted to be a magician. Chris tells his story on how he integrated his love for music and magic in a show unlike any other. Whether it’s a violin concerto to a magical dancing sheet of music to impossibly suspending various instruments on stage, his show is in a league of its own. The live-feed camera and interactive videos bring audiences up onstage and into the action, delivering a show that family audiences can call their own.
From NBC’s America’s Got Talent, CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us & Masters of Illusion, FOX’s Hell’s Kitchen and Syfy’s Wizard Wars, his unique approach to magic has garnered him performances at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood, Venetian, Mandalay Bay, Rio, and Tropicana casinos as well as residencies at Disney. In addition to his own touring, Chris has starred in major touring magic productions Masters of Illusion LIVE. Chris’ show has garnered standing ovations and a reputation for excellence.

Britney Cox, a washed-up actress has been canceled on social media! To hide from the haters her anxious young assistant, Maude Bender, has booked a girl's murder mystery weekend at a Berkshires Airbnb. Joining the fun is Tawny Fitzsimmons, a tired mom, and ex-cop and security detail Dale James. Comic mania ensues when the girl's weekend goes awry. Between pipe bombs, appliances that don't work, slashed tires, a mysterious landlady, and news of a serial killer hunting "pre-elderly women," what more could go wrong? "Bridesmaids" meets "Friday the 13th" in Natalie Symons' hilarious new farce, Nightsweat, as it pokes fun at wokeness, Florida, pronouns, Ozempic, white privilege, "don't say gay," horror movie tropes, fake news, and, of course, Hall & Oats. Book your stay at McCurdy's Haunted Airbnb where murder, mayhem, and belly laughs are behind every door.
