Broadway performer to debut one-man show on island
The Jamestown Community Theatre will present Jon Peterson, Broadway and off-Broadway actor, singer and dancer in a one-man premiere cabaret called, "Song Man, Dance Man."
The musical numbers will feature songs and dances originally performed by George M. Cohan, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr., Charles Aznavour, and Anthony Newley. Peterson wrote the script for the show and this will be his official opening venue.
Peterson has performed in many shows; most recently, this summer, he was in one of the Goodspeed musicals in East Haddam, Conn. as the lead of the originally British and subsequently 1965 Broadway hit, "Half a Sixpence."
A native of London, Peterson became a veteran of numerous West End musicals. Credits include: "The Sound Of Music," "Dames At Sea," "Cats," "A Chorus Line," "Blitz!" and "She Loves Me."
