Dunham and his fast-talking, irreverent “suitcase posse” became household names with his hour-long Comedy Central special entitled Jeff Dunham – Spark of Insanity.

All the classic hits from the enduringly-popular group in the Arena on Friday, May 28th

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons scored nineteen Top 10 hits starting in the 60s including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like A Man.” Their distinctive New Jersey-bred sound survived and even flourished in the wake of the “British Invasion” of the mid-60s. Later, Valli went on to a successful solo career, singing the theme to the movie version of Grease and hitting the top of the charts with “My Eyes Adored You” and “December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night).” In 1990, the group was honored with their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As evidence of the group’s staying power, a musical based on their rags-to-riches story entitled “Jersey Boys” is a Tony Award-winning smash hit on Broadway.
