Reviews of the Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die Tour have been effusive:
“Urie danced his way across the stage during each song as he mirrored the crowd’s fervent energy, which was at full throttle the entire night…He isn’t afraid to hit those high falsetto notes to demonstrate his brilliant vocal range, show off some dance moves, or run around bare-chested performing acrobatics off the stage equipment.” —The Miami New Times
“Lead singer Brendon Urie’s voice is powerful and excellent…the energy level last night started high and never waned.” –Consequence of Sound
“The Marquee was transformed into a rock church during ‘This Is Gospel,’ as stained-glass images lit the stage. The audience faithfully followed Urie, who commanded the room as if it were his church.” —The Phoenix New Times
Panic! will also stage a takeover of the TV airwaves performing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Wednesday, March 5th.
The group’s fourth studio album Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 Chart in October. “This Is Gospel,” the second single from the album has over 10 million YouTube views, is currently impacting radio and follows “Miss Jackson” which hit Top 10 at Alternative Radio.

The Rascals “Once Upon A Dream” Comes To Mohegan Sun

May 13, 2013 | Entertainment, General News, Special Events

Back together again for the first time in 40 years; 1 performance only; Live in the Arena on August 30th

UNCASVILLE, CT (May 13, 2013) — Following a critically acclaimed, sold out Broadway run, “Once Upon A Dream Starring The Rascals” takes on Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, August 30th for an 8:00pm show.  Playing together for the first time in 40 years, “Once Upon A Dream Starring The Rascals” is produced and directed by Steven Van Zandt and lighting/projection wizard Marc Brickman.  The show is completely original in its concept, a BioConcert.
Tickets are $45.00 and are sale now through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call any Ticketmaster Charge by Phone number; 1.800.745.3000 or visit any Ticketmaster outlet.  Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office, subject to availability.
“Once Upon A Dream Starring The Rascals” is a Rock concert and a Broadway show, a Rock N’ Soul dance party meets the Jersey Boys. In addition to the concert experience, the history of The Rascals and the history of the ‘60’s are told through their music (in fact, at thirty songs, the most comprehensive concert they’ve ever done), and dramaticized by a combination of narration, filmed scenes of actors acting out key moments in the band’s history, news footage and archival footage of the band.
There are ele­ments of stag­ing and light design never seen before, just as Marc Brick­man has done in his pre­vi­ous ground­break­ing work with Bruce Spring­steen, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Blue Man Group, the open­ing cer­e­mony of the Olympics, and Roger Waters’ recent ‘The Wall’ tour.
The show debuted at the The Capi­tol The­atre in Port Chester, New York.  The the­ater was uniquely qual­i­fied for this debut, as owner Peter Shapiro (Brook­lyn Bowl, Wet­lands, U2 3D) restored it to its 1926 mag­nif­i­cence while equip­ping it with a state of the art lighting, projection and sound system.
“To do jus­tice to the Ras­cals impor­tance, I’ve writ­ten a show for them that is just as unique as they are.  More than just a come­back or reunion, the show will remind audi­ences how uniquely inspi­ra­tional, enter­tain­ing, and his­tor­i­cally impor­tant the Ras­cals’ music is. Their music was unique not only in its great­ness, but through their hit sin­gles they told the entire story of the six­ties.” – Steven Van Zandt
