DAVID CASSIDY
LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9
Coquitlam, BC - From television to recording and record-breaking concert tours and from Broadway to Las Vegas shows, David Cassidy has made his mark and been lauded with awards and nominations ranging from Grammys to Emmys and many more. Hailing from a family of actors, mother Evelyn Ward and father Jack Cassidy, he wound up starring with stepmother Shirley Jones on ABC’s hit sitcom, “The Partridge Family” which aired from 1970 to 1974. Cassidy played the role of eldest son and the band’s lead singer, “Keith Partridge.” During the show’s run, membership of his official fan club exceeded that of Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
To date, Cassidy’s records have sold well over 35 million copies worldwide and have been recognized with over twenty-four gold and platinum recordings including four consecutive multi-platinum LP’s. He was responsible for seven chart-topping Partridge Family singles including “Doesn’t Somebody Want To Be Wanted,” ”I Woke Up In Love This Morning” and “I Think I Love You” which was the best selling single of 1971. As a solo artist, he has had hit singles including “Cherish,” ”Could It Be Forever,” ”How Can I Be Sure,” ”Rock Me Baby” and “Lyin’ to Myself.” His post-Partridge Family acting credits include a guest starring role on the highest rated episode of the NBC series, “Police Story” which earned him an Emmy nomination for “Best Dramatic Actor” in 1978 and a starring role on Broadway in the original production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in 1982.
Cassidy moved to Las Vegas in 1996 to star at the MGM Grand in the $75 million extravaganza, “EFX.” He then went on to work with Emmy Award winning writer-producer, Don Reo where they created and produced two new Vegas shows, “The Rat Pack is Back!” and “At the Copa.” In 2002, he released the album, Then and Now followed by A Touch Of Blue a year later. Today he resides in Florida with his wife, Sue Shifrin-Cassidy and their 18 year old son, Beau while still touring across North America as well as throughout the UK and Australia. Cassidy will be performing for one show only at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in October.
