The Legendary Buddy Greco Presents "Fever: A Tribute to Miss Peggy Lee" at Stoneham Theatre

Buddy Greco, known to thousands of New Englanders as pianist, night-club crooner, former member of the Benny Goodman Orchestra and part-time Rat Pack member, will bring his new musical, "Fever: A Tribute to Miss Peggy Lee," to STONEHAM THEATRE (395 Main Street, Stoneham, MA - 781-279-2200 - http://www.stonehamtheatre.org/) October 3rd through 6th for the East Coast premier. Opening in August in Las Vegas, "Fever," starring Lezlie Anders, was praised for it's sophisticated and elegant simplicity - a style which Peggy Lee was known for - and for its swinging big band musical numbers, all of which were arranged and are performed on stage by Mr. Greco. Showtimes are Thursday, October 3rd at 7:30 pm, Friday, October 4th at 8:00 pm, Saturday, October 5th at 4:00 & 8:00 pm and Sunday, October 6th 2:00 pm. Tickets are $30 & $35.

Greco is enormously popular in the Boston area and appeared regularly in the 1950s and 60s in such night spots as the Surf, Frolics, Monticellos and Blinstrubs. His hits "Oh Look at Her Ain't She Pretty," "The Lady is a Tramp" and "Around the World" earned gold records, selling in the millions. Known as "the singer's singer," and "a musician's musician," Greco's super-star status took him to clubs and concert halls world-wide as well as a command performance with the Beatles for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. A tribute to his dear friend Nat King Cole at Carnegie Hall, a 72 city tour with the Salute to the Benny Goodman Band as headliner and conductor, and his 1997 CD, "Like Young," which ranked as Billboard Magazine's Pick of the Week are a few of his recent projects. He performs regularly in Las Vegas with wife, Lezlie Anders, and a burning 12-piece big band, and were the buzz of the town when they instituted a dress code they call "casual elegant" or "cocktail attire" that was embraced by a cache crowd of Vegas night clubbers.

Lezlie Anders, who stars in "Fever," is well acquainted with Peggy Lee. Her CD, "With Love, Lezlie" was a dedication to the singer, and an upcoming recording will include music from the show.
