The Dream Concert

The Dream Concert brings two legendary careers together—at last. Ron Gartner delivers the electrifying music of Bobby Darin, while Lou Villano brings to life the timeless songs of Paul Anka, all backed by a hard-swinging band and immersive multimedia.

Through music, visuals, and storytelling, this dynamic audience-interactive show traces the remarkable journeys of these iconic entertainers—from their days as teen idols, their amazing hit songwriting careers, their turns as Hollywood movie stars, and their legendary nightclub performances.  Audiences discover how Darin and Anka helped define an era, influenced generations, and dominated stages around the world with impeccable versions of beloved Anka classics such as "Diana," "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," “You Are My Destiny” and “The Times of Your Life,” and sensational finger-snapping renditions of Darin’s biggest hits from “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover,” to "Mack the Knife" and "Beyond the Sea.”
