Live Shows!

With the recent announcements of new shows for 2018, did they mention what would be going in the Jack Aldrich Theatre?

It sounds like the vast majority of entertainment is moving towards the Midways, which I am all for.

Just an update on what was announced for Live E during Winter Chill Out:

Gossip Gulch – The new Gossip Gulch stage, located adjacent to Roundup, will feature themed live entertainment, including the park’s Bluegrass Jamboree.

“Lusty Lil’s French Revue” – Lusty Lil’s FrontierTown friends are performing their idea of a French Revue, but misadventure and misunderstanding get in the way. It results in a family-friendly show filled with live music, comedy and cancan dancers. Lusty Lil’s French Revue will play in the Palace Theatre in FrontierTown.

“Vertical Impact” – Acrobats and dancers perform in this new fast-paced, high-energy show in Celebration Plaza.

“Snoopy’s Dog Days of Summer” – Snoopy and his PEANUTS® pals will gather on the Main Midway near Pagoda Gift Shop in this new family-friendly celebration of music, dancing and fun.

Midway Entertainers – Live music comes alive on the midways with The Traildust Trio, performing classic country in the Gazebo near Town Hall Museum; The Tomfooleries guitar duo will entertain with comedy and music in the Palace Theatre and on FrontierTown’s streets; The Swell Tones will serenade guests with their classic 50’s musical stylings on the Main Midway; the Roving Beach Crew will wander the midways, interacting with guests on their quest to find the Cedar Point Beach; and the Summerdaze Band takes the stage at Cedar Point Shores Waterpark.

It sounds like the Live E department is moving towards immersive, "streetmosphere" to funnel the budget, vs. traditional shows. Didn't know if anything was mentioned about Jack Aldrich Theatre or not. I find it interesting that this theatre was not mentioned. Is it possible that this theatre is going dark for 2018? It would be sad to see another entertainment venue go, but this is probably the best location for a Harmony Hall type eatery at the park.

I also don't see the Beach Band mentioned - the group of five or six brass/drum musicians dressed in funky hats and colorful shirt/shorts. Being a former band geek myself, I always enjoyed their mini-shows. (That's not the Roving Beach Crew mentioned above is it?)

I dont see any mention of the Toes in the Sand Band either. Looks like the Summerdaze Band has taken their place.
