Kudos, for the Richard Nader Entertainment, Co, for putting on a spectacular show on Saturday Evening. Ben E. King (Drifters) Gene Chandler (Groovy Situation), Bobby Lewis 85 years young, God bless him (Tossin' & Turnin') Joey Dee & The Starliters (Peppermint Twist) showing once again the enduring legacy of Rock & Roll music that will stay with us for ever, and never, ever die. Two of the founding members of the Teenagers (Herman Santiago, Jimmy Merchant) showcasing their extreme longevity (53 years with the group)and magnificent signing arrangements showing once again why the Teenagers are members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. A show that should not have been missed by anyone.
We were 5 people, celebrating a birthday. The show was fabulous. I love the NJPAC because you can see from anywhere and the sound, well, there are few venues that can compete. Also, before the show they had another show. Can't beat it. Thank you goldstar.

NJPAC has attracted over 3.5 million patrons (including 700,000 children) since its October 18, 1997 Opening Night. It has been cited in many major media outlets, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Miami Herald, The Baltimore Sun, Crain's New York Business, Travel & Leisure, Forbes and others, as a motivating catalyst in the renewed interest in the City of Newark by developers, investors and tenants. In additon, NJPAC's Prudential Hall has been named one of the "world's greatest concert halls" by former New York Times music critic Hans Fantel, and "the nation's most glamorous theater" by Clive Barnes.
