THE LAST WALTZ Celebration featuring The THE BAND Band & Special Guests

The THE BAND Band returns to the SHU Community Theatre to present a celebration of The Last Waltz, bringing to life one of the most historic concerts of the rock era!

On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Last Waltz was held at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Band’s farewell concert featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. This epic musical event was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s landmark film, “The Last Waltz,” widely considered one of the greatest concert films ever made.

The Last Waltz Celebration revisits the music and the magic of that Thanksgiving evening nearly 50 years ago, beginning with The THE BAND Band performing a set of The Band’s most beloved songs, followed by a revolving cast of musicians – many of whom lead their own critically acclaimed tribute bands – performing the songs of those guest stars featured in the original concert. The show culminates with the entire cast filling the stage for the grand finale.

The THE BAND Band is the world’s leading tribute to The Band, having performed more than 400 shows for audiences across the United States since their founding in 2007. In 2012, they created The Last Waltz Celebration, with over 50 performances to date.
