IMPRESARIO: This Weekend’s Ticket Alert
If you want to avoid the scalpers and Craigslist scams, consult this handy little guide to the shows soon to go on sale …
• Trippy discofunkateers Earth, Wind & Fire solider into Upper Darby’s Tower Theater on Tuesday, September 16th for a little “September,” “Boogie Wonderland” and “Fantasy.” Unlike a lot of “reunion” acts, EWF’s shows are tight, energetic and a whole lotta fun. $55 to $85. On sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
• If I were ruler of the world, impressionists would be banned. BANNED, I tell you. But I am not. So you are still free to enjoy the supposed funniness of Frank Caliendo, who heads to the Tower on Saturday, October 11th. $41.75. On sale Friday at 10 a.m.
• I have to be honest with you. I actually thought that Bob Newhart was dead. Not in the way that you might say that you thought Samantha Fox or Kato Kaelin was dead. Like, actually dead. Well, either I am wrong or they’re practicing some kind of voodoo out in Hershey, where Newhart or perhaps the Ghost of Newhart will do whatever it is that he or it does these days on Saturday, September 6th. $49.50 to $75. On sale Saturday at 10 a.m.

Whoever wrote the piece on Bob Newhart should get his head out of his ass and realize that he’s referring to a legend, not some snotty kid “flavor of the month” star.
Doing “whatever he does” has made him a rich man many times over and the place will be full that September evening when he appears.Bob’s a very classy act. More than can be said for you!!

My husband and I saw Bob Newhart last year in Boston. My husband was always a big fan and I went along with him to keep him company. Bob Newhart was very, very funny and his timing was impeccable. He is a consummate entertainer and I thoroughly enjoyed his show.
