Elvis Presley in Concert
2026-08-14 19:30 - 2026-08-16 14:00 (America/New_York)
Featuring never before seen footage of ‘The King’

Elvis sings and tells his story like never before in a new cinematic experience from visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.

Director Baz Luhrmann discovered the footage he used in this film whilst doing research for his biopic film Elvis (2022). He was bowled over by how much unseen 35mm footage (some of it outtakes and deleted scenes from other projects) there was in the Warner Bros film storage facility, which was located in an old salt mine in Kansas. Not all of the footage had a corresponding soundtrack, so some creative editing was required but over the course of two years he was still able to edit together this film through a variety of sources and archive sound recordings.

Roughly 80% of the footage used has never been seen publicly before.

Michael Misko: Magician. Comedian. Cracker of Wise.

Michael brings you a unique blend of deft sleight-of-hand magic and charming, wry, comedy…peppered with a hefty dose of rapier wit! “90% Comedy. The other half is magic.” Once described as “the Zach Galifianakis of magic,” Michael’s greatest asset is the ability to combine comedy and sleight-of-hand technique to form an evening of pee-in-your-pants entertainment….or so he was told by one little old lady. After seeing his show, renowned stand-up comic Brian Regan said, “I love the part where you harpooned the guy in the chest!”

In 2015, Michael was hand-picked to create the role of the “Magic Maker” in the World Premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s Magic to Do, and can be heard on the Original Cast Album, available on iTunes, Amazon, or Spotify.

Michael is a highly sought after consultant for Fortune 500 Companies, as he helps connect them with their employees and clients in an astonishing and memorable way. Some of his clients include Workday, Carnival Cruise Lines, CBS, bioMérieux and UPMC Health Systems.

Additionally, Michael performs on cruise ships, at Universities, comedy clubs, and private functions all across the world. He lives in Pittsburgh, PA with his beautiful wife, Sarah, their perfect daughters, Rosalind and Sloane, and scruffy Double Doodle, Aurora. The Strand is delighted to welcome back Michael Misko and his astounding brand of magic and hysterical comic antics! FAMILY-FRIENDLY!

Houdini
2026-08-22 19:30 - 2026-08-23 14:00 (America/New_York)
Starring Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, & Torin Thatcher

From his beginnings as a “wildman” carnival act to the internationally famous feat of escaping from a locked trunk in an ice-jammed river, the great Harry Houdini emerged as the world’s most captivating magician and escape artist.

A talented amateur magician, Tony Curtis performed most of his own tricks in this film.

The movie contains several factual errors, the most telling of which is the dramatization of Harry Houdini’s death. In the film he almost drowns in the torture tank trick and dies on the stage in the arms of his wife. In real life he was punched in the stomach by a college student who had heard that Houdini could withstand any blow without harm. This did, indeed, rupture his appendix. He later collapsed on stage, was taken to the hospital and died there.

Jaws
2026-08-28 00:00 - 2026-08-30 23:59 (America/New_York)
Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Robert Dreyfuss

When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it’s up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.

According to director Steven Spielberg, the prop arm looked too fake in the scene where Chrissie’s remains are discovered, so instead, they buried a female crew member in the sand with only her arm exposed.

According to writer Carl Gottlieb, Roy Scheider ad-libbed the line “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Over 67 million people in the U.S. went to see this film when it was initially released in 1975 (just under a third of the country’s total population at the time), making it the first summer “blockbuster.”

Composer John Williams conducted the orchestra during the 1976 Academy Awards, so when it was announced that he won the Oscar for Best Score, he had to run up to the podium to accept his Oscar and then run back to continue conducting the orchestra.

Man of La Mancha
2026-09-11 00:00 - 2026-09-20 23:59 (America/New_York)
One of Broadway’s Legendary Musicals puts ‘The Impossible Dream’ within the Reach of Us All

Man of La Mancha is one of the all-time Broadway classics, and one of the first shows to musicalize a piece of historical literature! Based on Cervantes’ epic 17th-century novel, the mad Don Quixote may mistake a windmill for a giant, and a tavern for a castle, but he also transforms a wretched woman into a beautiful lady, and proves that an old man’s belief can truly make him a knight.

Featuring such stirring songs as Dulcinea and the now-famous standard, Quest, and the more famously known The Impossible Dream, you’ll love every second of this poignant and moving musical in The Strand’s intimate setting, where you won’t miss a single smile, whisper or tear.

Man of La Mancha is part of the Broadway on Main Subscription Series which also includes More Solid Gold, and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

Lassie Come Home
2026-09-25 19:30 - 2026-09-27 14:00 (America/New_York)
Starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, & May Whitty

After her destitute family is forced to sell her, a collie named Lassie escapes from her new owner and begins the long trek from Scotland to her Yorkshire home.

Pal, who played Lassie, earned a salary of $250 per week, while young Elizabeth Taylor was paid $100 per week.

Pal retired at the age of five, after which, nearly all subsequent Lassie movies used his direct descendants. [The dogs who played Lassie for the first half of season 2 of Lassie (1997) and Lassie (2005) were not.]

Though Lassie is supposed to be female, this and all subsequent Lassie movies used male dogs to play her, supposedly because males are easier to train.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor replaced Maria Flynn in the role of Priscilla. Some sources say Flynn was afraid of the dog on the set; others say that she grew taller than Roddy McDowall or that the strong Technicolor lighting caused her eyes to water.

The Zep Show
2026-10-17 14:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
Incredible Tribute To Rock’s First Heavy Metal Band is Ready To Shake The Strand’s Foundation

Led Zeppelin is considered by most critics to be one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. They are among the best-selling artists in history, and Rolling Stone described them as “the heaviest band of all time”, “the biggest band of the Seventies”, and “unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history”. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.

The Zep Show is a visual and audio spectacle that takes you back to the age when Rock was born. The Zep Show is dedicated to thrilling audiences in Theatres and Festival stages across North America. These four full-time, professional musicians have devoted their lives to performing live rock, and the affinity they share with each other and the music they love is as apparent as it is authentic. Masterful musicianship, spot-on vocals and striking visuals make The Zep Show an extremely convincing and authentic rendition of Led Zeppelin from the late ’60’s into the early ’70’s.

“It’s not at all an easy task to re-create the incredible energy, genre-breaking sound and stage presence that sky rocketed Led Zeppelin to stardom in the late ’60’s. My band mates and I have a very deep connection with this music and at every show, we pay homage with soaring vocals and heavy, intricate rock riffs ”, shares singer Al Langlade. “it’s a unique synergy, the combination of this group of musicians performing these songs that make it such a convincing tribute”. With Lead Vocals by Al Langlade, Paul Maddigan on Drums, Daz Atkinson on Guitar, and Micheal Swec on Bass and Keyboards, it really wouldn’t sound or feel the same with anybody else playing these roles.

The Nightmare Bus Tour Is Back! Be Very Afraid…….or not |

20 years ago, a strange phenomenon manifested itself throughout the picture-postcard towns of Zelienople and Harmony. As the Fall chill air whipped by store fronts and alley ways, and evening shadows grew long, residents noticed an odd vehicle rumbling by as they pulled their jackets tighter. An old bus or trolley rolled by, as if plucked from a long-forgotten, bygone era. In some cases, the motorized carriage would stop, and passengers disembarked, led about by a ghoulish figure who shared strange tales of bizarre and unexplained phenomena. THE NIGHTMARE TOUR was taking place, and everyone aboard was terrified! Or they were laughing hysterically. Honestly, it was hard to tell.

As The Sun Dissolves and Shadows Grow, Vision Dims and Nightmares Flow.

The Nightmare Tour is BACK for two nights ONLY: Thursday, October 22, and Sunday, October 25. Tours depart at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm and seating is limited! It would be horrifying if you waited too long to get your tickets!

The Nightmare Tour is designed to be a family-friendly excursion, but do to its nature of visiting dark areas and hearing ghost stories, parents are cautioned to consider their child’s personal disposition when it comes to such subject matter.

To reserve your spot on the date and time that you prefer, purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended, especially for groups of 10 or more. Remember, you’ve been warned!!

From such well known songs as That’s Amore, Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime, I Wanna be Loved by You, Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend, audiences will be charmed by the unmistakable chemistry between Andy’s ‘Dean’ and Susan’s ‘Marilyn’!

But that’s not all! To kick off the holiday season, this delightful pair will be adding many of your favorite holiday hits to their repertoire, from Dino classics like Winter Wonderland, I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm and Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer to Marilyn favorites like Santa Baby and What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve, and of course, the delightful duet, Baby It’s Cold Outside!

This pair will take you back to the days of Vegas in the 1950’s, sharing stories and anecdotes about two of the world’s most famous icons. Their performances will bring Marilyn and Dean to life in both story and song.

The kittenish Susan Griffiths is THE Marilyn of Marilyns. She appeared in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction and starred in the 1991 TV movie Marilyn & Me. Griffiths also appeared in her Monroe persona in the TV series Nip/Tuck, and has many other TV roles to her credit. She has posed in countless photos as the platinum blonde bombshell, and most notably appeared on a giant video screen nightly while Sir Elton John performed Candle in the Wind during his Red Piano live concert.

Strand audiences are already big fans of Andy DiMino, who joined Sebastian Anzaldo and Ambus Dean, and later adding Susan, for the fan-favorite Toast to the Rat Pack shows that have played to packed houses and very enthusiastic audiences for many years! But Andy was a true standout among the group. Audiences were floored by his incredible similarities in voice and appearance!

Andy was drawn to Dean Martin’s relaxed style of singing and began collecting CDs, videos, and books on the Rat Pack icon, collecting for 5 years before he ever put on a tux and donned that famous cigarette. Andy’s role as Dean was best described by an industry insider as: “He really has the manner, presence and voice of Dino down pat.” Andy appeared in hundreds of shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and all over the world!

Purple Piano: A Prince Tribute
2027-01-24 14:00 - 19:00 UTC
An Intimate One-Man Performance Dedicated to the Music and Artistry of Prince

We could not be more excited for the return of unrivaled Prince Tribute Artist, MARSHALL CHARLOFF, and his intimate one-man concert, Purple Piano! When it debuted here, many fans questioned whether or not a concert with just a piano could capture the spirit of Prince’s music. Well, if you saw this incredible show, you know the answer! If you missed it, this is your chance to correct that error!

Purple Piano reflects Prince’s final concert tour, which was just the iconic artist, his piano and a microphone. Prior to its start, Prince said, “I’m doing it to challenge myself, I won’t know what songs I’m going to do when I go on stage. I won’t have to, since I won’t have a band”. Ultimately, it was Prince’s final tour due to his untimely passing in 2016.

The world’s premiere Prince Tribute Artist, MARSHALL CHARLOFF crafted Purple Piano, which recreates Prince’s final tour, delivered with superb vocals and amazing musicianship on a single piano. It is an interactive and intimate show that any Prince fan will want to experience.

For over a decade, Marshall has established his dominance as the world’s leading Prince Tribute Artist. Coming from fronting the greatest Prince tribute show in the world, to working with The Atlanta Rhythm Section and writing and producing for The Commodores, Marshall created his solo tribute to Prince, the only production of its kind in the world. Purple Piano was so enthusiastically received that it landed a full-time residency in LAS VEGAS, delighting Prince fans from across the globe.

Purple Piano celebrates the soul and intimacy of Prince’s final concert tour, but takes it a step further as Strand patrons are treated, not only to world-class musicianship and engaging graphics and video, but fascinating stories about Prince’s life and career. Purple Piano is a truly satisfying artistic and interactive experience for fans of ‘The Purple One’!

Buddy Holly & Friends 'Winter Dance Party'
2027-02-06 14:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
Live On Stage! Stirring Tributes to Buddy Holly & Friends on the Anniversary of ‘The Day The Music Died’

Travel back in time with Buddy Holly & Friends! This concert is a modern revival of the original WINTER DANCE PARTY tour that took place over 60 years ago, plus so much more!

On February 2nd, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and Dion and The Belmonts performed together for the very last time. The ‘Winter Dance Party’ tour was thrilling teenagers across the Midwest, a scheduled 24-city tour, headlined by Holly and his band, The Crickets. The tour would end in disaster on February 3rd, 1959, when all three would die in their charter plane crash on the way to the tour’s next stop. Remembered ever since as ‘The Day the Music Died’, these legends had already made their mark in music history. On the eve of its anniversary, this show relives the concert experience and tells the story of the devastating loss through the eyes of Dion, who was unable to join the others as there wasn’t enough room on the plane; an incredible story and music event!

This show brings back the best hits of the original Winter Dance Party line up and also includes songs by other stars of the era, including FATS DOMINO, ROY ORBISON, BILL HALEY, and PAUL ANKA. Hits by BIG MAMA THORNTON, LESLEY GORE, THE RONETTES, AND THE SHIRELLES are featured in special tribute moments to the iconic female artists of the era. Even The King himself, ELVIS will make an appearance! For those who remember, this show will be a trip down memory lane, while introducing these legends to the next generation, telling their story and recreating the music that has become so cherished over the decades!
