Join BIG ARTS for a special evening with fine fare and good cheer in Boler Garden! Steve Ross plays and sings Fred Astaire in his new show, "Puttin' on the Ritz" - a terrific two piano four hands instrumental and vocal tribute to the king of debonair. Steve will be joined on second piano by the brilliant Bruno Casolari in Schein Performance Hall. All BIG ARTS members will receive an invitation.
Stephen Holden, in a New York Times review declared, "In his new show, "Puttin' On the Ritz," Mr. Ross, focuses on Astaire, whom he has saluted many times in the past. No matter; it never gets old. The show interweaves biographical material that focuses on Astaire's youthful partnership with his sister Adele and Astaire-identified standards that everyone of a certain age ought to know. The run-on format in which songs and patter flow continuously lends the show the musical mood of a serene dance marathon, if such a thing is possible."
