Martin’s stage productions include “Little Me,” to which he earned a Tony Award for ‘Best Actor,’ and Mel Brooks’ The Producers.

Marvin Hamlisch is one of the greatest pops artists and conductors of our time. Winner of three Oscar awards, four Grammy awards, three Emmy awards, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe awards and the Pulitzer Prize, some of Hamlisch’s most notable works include “A Chorus Line,” and “The Way We Were”. Dubbed by the New York Times, “The Last Leading Man” on Broadway, Tony-Award Winner Brian Stokes Mitchell starred in John Williams’ Jazz version of “My Fair Lady” at Tanglewood and headlined the Carnegie Hall concert presentation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” with Reba McEntire, which airs on PBS. Mark Nadler returns to the Mann after last season’s premier with the New York Pops. Demand for Mark’s concerts stretch across the globe each year and we are thrilled to have him back.

Motown legends The Four Tops, best known for their pure harmonies and polished performances, deliver hit after hit including “Baby I Need Your Loving,” “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” “It’s The Same Old Song,” “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over).” Philadelphia’s own The Stylistics are a Soul music staple, with hits including “You’re a Big Girl Now,” Stop, Look, Listen to Your Heart,” “You Are Everything,” and “Betcha By Golly Wow.” A great night to party at the Mann!
