Weekend packages and individual event tickets still available
Farmington, Pa. (June 12, 2006) — Individual event tickets and full weekend packages are still available for Nemacolin Woodlands Resort’s legendary Royal Reception, set for June 23-25 at the luxury Four-Star, Four-Diamond resort just 1.5 hours southeast of Pittsburgh. This year’s event takes guests to the most romantic city on earth with the theme “London to Paris.”
Known as “the social event of the year” for showcasing top-name entertainment, Royal Reception features actor/jazz singer Harry Connick, Jr. and his Big Band, plus the dancing grooves of the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire. Connick just finished his Broadway run in the 2006 Tony Award-winning production, The Pajama Game.
• Harry Connick, Jr. first reached mass audience appeal as a pianist, singer and bandleader, and over the past two decades, he has proven to among the world’s most successful and multi-talented artists. Connick achieved widespread success as a musician with his 1989 contributions to the score of the smash hit movie When Harry Met Sally, leading to his first multi-platinum album and first big band recording. After making his acting debut in Memphis Belle in 1990, Connick has also starred in Little Man Tate, Copycat, Independence Day, Excess Baggage, Hope Floats, Life Without Dick and John Grisham’s Mickey. His music has also contributed to the success of such films as Godfather III, Sleepless in Seattle and The Mask. As a television performer, he has starred in two specials built around his best-selling holiday albums, two Great Performances/PBS concert specials, the ABC TV adaptation of South Pacific (starring opposite Glenn Close), and a recurring role as Dr. Leo Markus on the NBC hit series Will & Grace. Harry Connick, Jr. has sold over 20 million albums, won three Grammy awards and an Emmy award. His nominations include Tony, Oscar and Golden Globe awards.
• Earth, Wind & Fire first hit the music scene in the 1970’s and have enjoyed a career spanning more than 30 years. Borrowing from all styles of music – soul, funk, gospel, blues, jazz, rock and pop – the band established themselves as a force musically and in live performances. Their first #1 hit single “Shining Star” led the way for many more hits songs, including “September,” “Got to Get You Into My Life,” “Boogie Wonderland,” and many, many more. Their live concerts were “like Carnival, Mardi Gras, Broadway, Las Vegas and Cirque du Soleil all at once” with lavish costumes, intricate staging, pyrotechnics and intricate lighting displays. Though touring now without band founder Maurice White who has been battling Parkinson’s Disease since 1992, Earth, Wind & Fire still enjoys rave reviews for their newest albums and live performances. Since their inception, the band has won six Grammys and four American Music Awards while selling more than 20 million albums in the U.S. alone. They have been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and collected a Hall of Fame Image Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
Master of Ceremonies presiding over the courtly weekend will be Mr. Robin Leach, popular host of the television show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” Royal Reception is a charity event, with a portion of proceeds going to the Penn State Dance Marathon (THON), the nation’s oldest student run philanthropy. THON provides medical, financial and emotional support to pediatric cancer patients and their families at Penn State Children’s Hospital.
