THE ROCKET MAN SHOW
2027-01-15 19:30 - 21:15, 2027-01-16 19:30 - 21:30 (America/New_York)
This is Elton! Rus Anderson is Elton John’s official body double for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour launch promo video. Picked by the man himself, Rus performs as a young Elton John in The Rocket Man Show – driving a night of Elton’s greatest hits, with spot on vocals & fierce piano playing. Rus painstakingly recreates an early Elton concert with gorgeous, colorful & flamboyant costumes actually worn by Elton – including boots, glasses & jumpsuits from 1973, as well as his sparkly tuxedo from 1984! With all the classic young Elton antics, audiences are in for a night of nostalgia, singing, laughing & participation.
Remember when rock was young? You will after the show!
Reviews from past patrons include:

“We were BLOWN AWAY by the Rocket Man concert last night. Rus was phenomenal as Elton John! The singers and the band were fantastic! We look forward to seeing Rus again NEXT YEAR! So, PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!” — Linda F.
“Definitely a 10. My husband and I both loved it and had a blast. Forgot sometimes that we weren’t watching the real Elton John.” — Nancy M.
“Absolutely outstanding. Rus Anderson & the band were incredibly talented. The sound system, stage props, and costume design were Broadway quality.” — John C.
“It was amazing! His energy just doesn’t stop. It took me right back to the 70s. The band is fantastic, so much talent. I can’t wait for next year.” — David H.

Just keep swimming.
Based on the beloved Disney·Pixar film and featuring new music by award-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Finding Nemo, Jr. dives into a colorful underwater adventure. Marlin, an anxious and overprotective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his curious son, Nemo, who dreams of exploring life beyond their anemone home. When Nemo is unexpectedly captured and taken far from home to Sydney, Marlin must confront his fears and cross the ocean to bring his son home. Along the way, he encounters unforgettable characters—including the endlessly optimistic Dory, the laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the quirky Tank Gang—who help both father and son discover courage, confidence, and independence.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo, Jr. creates a vibrant underwater world on stage, celebrating family, friendship, and the courage to let go.

The World's Premier Johnny Cash Tribute Starring Terry Lee Goffee!
2027-03-03 19:30 - 21:00
In the spring of 1955, Johnny Cash walked into the legendary Sun Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The music world was never the same.
Not long afterward, Terry Lee Goffee put his first Johnny Cash record on a turntable, and his world was never the same. He has been a fan of Johnny Cash since he was about 8 years old. Johnny Cash and Elvis were his first two musical influences. He always felt Johnny’s music got better over the years. Cash’s songs addressed a lot of issues common to many people, whether they were sensitive social issues or just some slice of life to which the average person could relate.
Having firsthand knowledge of others who were doing tributes and wanting to honor his musical hero, Terry decided to start performing “Train of Love: A Tribute to Johnny Cash.” He wanted to make his show a little different and unique by portraying Johnny Cash in the first person, rather than just standing there and singing the songs. Like an actor in a play, he literally becomes his character, in this case, Johnny Cash, from the moment he walks onstage until the end of the show.
Among the 34 songs included in the tribute are such Cash classics as: “A Boy Named Sue,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” “I Walk The Line,” “Ring Of Fire,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “Hurt.” In June 2003, Terry took the “Train of Love” tribute to Nashville for two performances. Cash’s brother and sister attended the show and were very complimentary afterward.
Tommy Cash stated, “My Brother would be proud.” Joanne Cash Yates commented, “It’s a wonderful show, I would recommend it to anyone,” and “you don’t impersonate my brother, you pay tribute to him with honor.”
Terry’s appreciation and love, not only for the music of Johnny Cash but for the man himself. A champion of the underdog, a voice for those who often have none, an “outlaw” before it became fashionable. If you come away from this presentation with a better understanding of who Johnny Cash is, Terry will have succeeded in his vision for this endeavor.
Enjoy the Ride – Terry Lee Goffee
Terry Lee’s Tribute to Johnny Cash has taken him all across the U.S., Canada, Ireland, and the UK. He looks like Johnny. He sounds like Johnny. He moves like Johnny. Nobody does Johnny Cash like Terry Lee Goffee!
