ERICH BERGEN SET TO DEBUT NEW CLUB ACT
In celebration of his first solo CD release, Jersey Boys star Erich Bergen will debut his new club act in Los Angeles at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles.
Erich Bergen recently completed a three-year run starring as Bob Gaudio in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning Jersey Boys, as part of the Los Angeles, San Francisco, First National Tour and Las Vegas companies. Other recent credits include Gossip Girl (CW Network), White Christmas (Pantages Theatre), and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (Reprise). In 2009, he co-produced, directed, and served as musical director for Las Vegas Celebrates the Music of Michael Jackson, a benefit concert which raised $118,000 for Music Education in Nevada public schools. “Erich Bergen, as Bob Gaudio, is the show's breakout star. With his lanky good looks and vibrant intensity, his charisma feeds off the spotlight,” said Charles McNulty in his Los Angeles Times review of Jersey Boys. Said Steve Freiss in Las Vegas Weekly, “Bergen has a youthful and affable presence, an ability to play with audience expectations, a willingness to take risks and a confidence that does not come across as arrogance.” And, Bonnie Priever at Examiner.com said, “Erich Bergen is a star on stage ... a fresh, promising, musical talent.”
Bergen's self-titled solo CD will feature new studio recordings of original compositions in the pop genre, along with live tracks recorded during three sold out Las Vegas appearances at the Liberace Museum in April, 2009. The disc will be available for purchase at the upcoming Los Angeles and San Francisco club dates, and available October 1 at Amazon.com, CD Baby, iTunes and other digital music outlets.
The Inner Circle at The Magic Castle (7001 Franklin Avenue in Hollywood) will host Bergen's California club act debut on Wednesday, September 15 at 8pm (doors open at 6:30pm). Tickets are on sale now, at $15 for Magic Castle members and $25 for guests; there is VIP seating available for $50, which includes a copy of the CD, a post-show reception, meet and greet and a champagne toast.
