From a press release:

“The Sixties Show,” a theatrical multimedia show from New York City that is regarded as the greatest 1960s musical tribute show in the world, is coming to the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 8 p.m.

Tickets, which are $26, can be purchased on the Opera House website, by calling 570-325-0249, and by visiting SoundCheck Records (23 Broadway, Jim Thorpe) or calling them at 570-325-4009. The facility (14 W. Broadway, Jim Thorpe) is open from noon-5 p.m. on show days, and tickets are available for most shows at the door at showtime. Parking is available and free after 5 p.m. at the Carbon County lot behind the train station.

At a “Sixties Show” performance, you will take a trip back to the ’60s, where an AM radio is blasting out the latest sounds from a convertible on a warm summer starlit Saturday night on Any Street, USA.

The members of “The Sixties Show” were handpicked to perform, tour, and record with Sir Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, The Bee Gees, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, and other legends and individually have performed at the most renowned venues in the world, such a Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl, Wembley Stadium, The Grand Rex in Paris, and The Budokan in Tokyo, among others.

The band uses authentic 1960s period vintage and reissue vintage gear and instrumentation just like the original artists and recordings. This combined with their genuine ’60s mod costumes only adds to the meticulous detail and authenticity of this popular and powerful theater show.

In addition to the concert experience, the show is also powerfully dramatized by a combination of narration and ’60s archival audio and newsreel footage. “The Sixties Show” is a high-energy trip back in time that reminds the audience how uniquely inspirational, entertaining, and historically significant the music of the 1960s was and continues to be.
