Dick Taylor Presents: Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy
Thursday, Friday & Saturday: Dinner at 5:30 pm; show at 7 pm
Sunday: Brunch at 11:30 am, show at 1 pm
Motion picture, stage and television icon, Shirley Jones will appear with her son, Patrick Cassidy at the famed Purple Room in four very special performances presented by Dick Taylor on February 11th, 12th and 13th at 7 PM, and, again on February 14th at 1 PM. The intimate setting of this legendary nightclub offers guests an up-close and personal musical and historic experience with these great performers.
At her first audition in New York, Ms. Jones sang for composer Richard Rogers, who asked her to stay in the theatre so his partner, Oscar Hammerstein, could also see and hear her. It was a life-changing experience for Jones, as she was immediately signed to the only personal contract anyone had ever had with the famous team, and as a result, her career skyrocketed.
Jones was cast in the film Oklahoma in the role of Laurie, followed by starring roles in Carousel, The Music Man and April Love. In a departure from movie musicals, she created the dramatic role of prostitute Lulu Baines, playing opposite Burt Lancaster in the film Elmer Gantry, winning her first Oscar. Jones then was cast in the role that made her a household name, as the harried head of The Partridge Family in the popular television series that ran for four year.
Since then, Jones has appeared in dozens of movies, television and stage roles, including a record-breaking Broadway revival of 42nd Street. She's earned three Emmy nominations, and performs at standing-room only (SRO) symphony concerts and speaking engagements throughout the United States and the world.
Patrick Cassidy is Shirley Jones' middle son, and is a highly regarded actor, singer and director. Last summer, he starred in A Little Night Music for the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. He had the honor of recreating the role his father, Jack Cassidy, originated in 1966 at the Dallas Theatre Company's production of It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman. Cassidy starred opposite Patti LuPone in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway and played the lead role of Julian Marsh in 42nd Street (starring opposite his mother). Other Broadway credits include Aida, Pirates of Penzance and Leader of the Pack. Cassidy's film credits include Longtime Companion, I'll Do Anything, I Won't Dance and Burning Love. On television, he has made appearances on such shows as Law and Order, Bay City Blues, Smallville and Dirty Dancing.
Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy are a must-see combination of entertainment, music and memories. Dick Taylor Presents has been working with the Purple Room to bring in some of the biggest acts in the business. Jones and Cassidy will be at the Purple Room from February 11th through the 14th.
