The Duprees Will Appear at Westchester Broadway Theatre

A share of music industry greats grew up just across the Hudson River opposite lower Manhattan — including Frank Sinatra (who started as a member of The Hoboken Four) and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (from the Union City area which was once part of Hoboken).

On the south border of Hoboken is Jersey City where still another great musical group originated in the early 1960s when a group of high-school boys banded together to form The Duprees.

Their music lives on and will be performed on Monday, April 20, 2015 at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford by the current members of the group — Phil Granito, Tommy Petillo, Jimmy Spinelli, and Tony Testa.

Hit songs recorded by The Duprees include You Belong To Me, My Own True Love, Gone With The Wind, Take Me As I Am, Why Don’t You Believe Me, Have You Heard, Love Eyes, It’s No Sin, The Sand And The Sea, It Isn’t Fair, Let Them Talk, Exodus, and See the Pyramids Along the Nile.

The music director is Mark Baron.

In addition to the performance of The Duprees, Richie Byrne will provide stand-up humor as part of the evening’s entertainment. Besides being a comedian for more than two decades, Byrne has appeared as an actor in many television series including Law and Order: Criminal Intent and The Sopranos.

Dinner service starts at 6:15 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. The dinner/show inclusive cost is $84 per person plus tax.
