Hot Autumn Night starring Tommy James and the Shondells, The Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, The Buckinghams and The Grass Roots returns to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 8 p.m.
Tommy James & The Shondells hit the top of the charts in 1966 with “Hanky Panky” and followed with 16 Top 40 hits including “I Think We’re Alone Now,” “Mony, Mony,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion” and his solo hit “Draggin’ The Line” over a 14-year period through 1980. Tommy James’s songs have been covered by Joan Jett, Tiffany and Billy Idol and also wrote the hit single, “Tighter, Tighter” for Alive ‘n’ Kickin. His autobiography, Me The Mob and The Music was published in 2010.
English pop sensations The Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone were definitely into something good when they started racking up the hits in 1964. In addition to their two No. 1 hits, “Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter” and “Im Henry VIII, I Am,” audiences can expect to hear all the great songs such as “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “A Must to Avoid,” “Dandy,” and “There’s A Kind of Hush.”
Also appearing are The Grass Roots, who are best known for hits such as “Midnight Confessions,” “I’d Wait A Million Years,” “Temptation Eyes,” and “Two Divided By Love,” and The Buckinghams performing “Kind of a Drag,” “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” “Don’t You Care,” “Hey Baby They’re Playing Our Song” and “Susan.”
