Who's Coming To The Bucks County Playhouse This Season?

NEW HOPE, PA — The Bucks County Playhouse’s November Visiting Artist Series will revisit the lives and careers of three iconic singers, present original style jazz with French and Romani influence, and celebrate classic swinging sounds in 2021.

The series represents one of the few times on the calendar when outside producers take the stage to showcase their work. Renowned and unique performers from across the country and around the globe will join local favorites for an eclectic November lineup.

Performances begin with "Taylor Simon King: A Celebration of Three American Troubadours" highlighting the lives and stylings of James Taylor, Carly Simon, and Carole King.

Then, "The Hot Club of Philadelphia with Phyllis Chapell" plays a unique musical genre pioneered by legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli and their Hot Club of France Quintet. The group will be joined by vocalist Phyllis Chapell and special guest accordion virtuoso Dave Hartl.

Closing out the series, "The Rat Pack: One More Time" will offer a tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr.

"Get ready to hit the bar and settle in for a celebration of the great music, revelry and spirit as three incredible entertainers recreate the magic that made this trio the hottest ticket on the Vegas strip," a press release reads.

Showtimes and tickets for all events in the Visiting Artist Series are available online. Proof of vaccination and masks are required to attend performances.
