More Details About This Event:

The El Portal Theatre presents a tribute to the legendary Roy Orbison, featuring Wiley Ramey.  This show was performed in December 2006 at the same theatre and received rave reviews. The songs are performed live using arrangements created by the band but designed to seem as if the singer himself was there. "Pretty Woman", "Only the Lonely", "Candy Man", "Blue Angel", "You Got It", "In Dreams", and "Crying" are among the songs performed. The band opens the show with several jazz arrangements before "Roy" takes the stage.

About El Portal Theatre:

El Portal Theatre is a historic landmark in the San Fernando Valley, located in the heart of North Hollywood just minutes from Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, Disney, ABC, CBS- Radford and NBC Burbank. The theatre sits directly across Lankershim Blvd. from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The art deco marquee is visible to thousands of cars that travel on Lankershim Blvd. daily.

Since its opening in 1926, first for vaudeville, then silent movies and then Academy Award-winning films as the primo movie house in the Valley, the theatre has weathered the Jazz Age, the Depression, four wars, and finally the great earthquake of 1994. The lobbies boast luscious carpeting secured from Century City's Shubert Theatre and an art gallery featuring 13 Los Angeles Visual Artists.

Rebuilt in the late '90s and opened in January 2000, the El Portal now houses three theatres, the new Judith Kaufman Art Gallery, and sumptuous lobbies.
