Break out the bobby socks and bikinis as high school heartthrobs and South Philly favorites the “Golden Boys” of Rock ‘n’ Roll – Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell – come to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Friday, March 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are on sale now.
The “Golden Boys” have appeared in more than 500 shows in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and throughout the United States, as well as on numerous television specials such as the American Music Awards and the Miss Teenage America Pageant.
One of America’s most popular entertainers, Frankie Avalon went from ‘50s teen idol to international star. His first song, “De De Dinah” became a smash hit and his recording of “Venus” was one of the biggest songs of his era. He’s appeared in more than 30 movies including Guns of Timberland, The Alamo, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and the hit musical Grease. He made his biggest splash, however, in the classic sun and surf films Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party and Beach Blanket Bingo, among many others.
Overnight singing sensation Fabian Forte is also an accomplished actor and singer who appeared in more than 30 films. In addition to earning gold records for “Turn Me Loose” and “Tiger,” he produced the popular concert series “Fabian’s Goodtime Rock ‘n’ Roll Show” that eventually became syndicated and helped raise funds for PBS.
Teen idol Bobby Rydell’s career spans several decades and every area of the entertainment world. He’s performed in Bye, Bye Birdie and the Broadway show West Side Story and was a semi-regular on the Red Skelton Show and American Bandstand. His recordings top 25 million sold and includes “Wild One,” “Volare,” “Kissin’ Time,” “We Got Love,” “Wildwood Days” and “Sway.”
