Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets Two Paradise” the Musical Set for Debut Opening
Eddie Money continues to be a popular live concert event playing over a hundred shows annually. Throughout his career Money has sold 37 million records and has had 26 singles enter Billboard’s Top 100. Now Eddie takes his popularity one step further by debuting the musical “Two Tickets to Paradise” at the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center on Long Island, NY.
This show has been a labor of love by Eddie Money for nearly ten years. He has been honing and polishing his work getting it just right. It was last September at Oheka Castle where Money, Gordon MacKay and his brother (Frank MacKay – Chairman of the Independence Party of America) were working on finding the right venue on Long Island where Eddie was born and raised.
"Eddie's life is a fascinating one," says Frank MacKay, "And I would encourage everyone to see this compelling and inspiring portrayal of a great artist."
In addition to the hits that Eddie Money is known and loved for, “Two Tickets to Paradise” includes eleven new songs that have never been released or performed anywhere. When casting the role of himself, fate stepped in when Eddie cast a newcomer who attends the same high school (IslandTreesHigh School) that Eddie himself attended.
It is Eddie’s intention to bring “Two Tickets to Paradise” on the road within the next two years. For now though the World Premiere of “Two Tickets to Paradise” can be seen only in one place, the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center. Thursday June 4 – Saturday June 6 @ 7:30PM Sunday June 7 @ 2PM & Thursday June 11 – Saturday June 13 @ 7:30PM Sunday June 14 @ 2PM Tickets are available by calling 631-656-2148.
The show was written by Eddie Money, directed by John Blenn and co-produced by Eddie Money and Gordon MacKay.
