What's It All About?
Tony and Grammy Award winner and two-time Academy Award nominee Jim Dale in his brand new solo show. It's a little bit of song, a little bit of dance, a little bit of storytelling and whole lot of entertainment. Dale recounts tales from his start on the famed British Music Hall stage, through his Broadway triumphs in Scapino, Barnum and Me and My Girl, to his uproarious experiences narrating all seven “Harry Potter” audio books. Songs include "The Colors of My Life,” “The Lambeth Walk” and “Georgy Girl.”

What Are the Highlights?
Dale is a marvelous entertainer and storyteller (aided by piano accompanist Aaron Gandy). He's not afraid to laugh at himself and as a result, he has the audience rolling. The story about a blind guy and a salami almost did me in. One of those laughs that grips a hold of you long after the story is done and makes you wonder whether you'll ever stop.
What Are the Lowlights?
None. Go. Enjoy.
