MICHAEL MCDONALD + TOTO
Sunday, September 7, 2014 at 7 p.m.
Tickets Starting at $59
The mixture of great voices, lyrics and music never sounded more pure than when it came from superstars Michael
McDonald or Toto. Now you can hear them both on one special evening playing their greatest music. McDonald is
the man with the distinctive, soulful voice, who parlayed gigs with Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers into a
Grammy-winning, platinum-selling solo career. He continues to release music and tour the world, as well as
moonlight alongside co-horts Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs, proving himself an enduring force in popular music.
Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture
than the members of Toto. With over 35 years together and thousands of credits and accolades to their names,
Toto remains one of the top selling tour and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many
artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music
community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility.

Glamorous, sexy and deliciously wicked, “Jekyll & Hyde” is the enthralling musical based on Robert Louis
Stevenson’s classic story about a brilliant but obsessive scientist whose alter ego wreaks havoc across Victorian

and two women — one, beautiful and trusting — the other, beautiful and trusting only herself. Both in love with
the same man and both unaware of his dark secret.
Featuring a thrilling pop rock score including the unforgettable hit, “This Is The Moment” from multi-Grammy and
Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn, and double-Oscar and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, “Jekyll & Hyde” has
mesmerized audiences the world over.
