About Nat King Cole
Born in 1919, in Montgomery, Alabama, Nat King Cole, the critically acclaimed musician, was a popular singer and actor who first came to prominence as a masterful jazz pianist. Admired for his talent as a musician, he owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft and beautiful baritone singing voice. He was a top pop solo artist selling millions of records such as, “Nature Boy,” “Unforgettable,” and “Mona Lisa,” and was the first Afro-American to host his own television show.
Ticket price includes our picnic dinner – view outside menu.
How the Outdoor Concerts work
This is a very exclusive concert – there are only two performances, and space for only 112 patrons per show! Parties larger than four will be assigned multiple plots. Plots will be assigned based upon who purchased first. Earlier buyers will get closer plots. We will not have appetizers, upgraded entrees, and the dessert will be a cookie included with the “picnic” meal. Seating is at 5:30pm, and the concert starts at 6:30pm. Guests will park in the north parking lot, then go around the west side of the theatre to be seated in the south parking lot for dinner and the show.
