It’s been said that if you take Andrea Bocelli, Sammy Davis Jr., and Billy Crystal and put them together you get Tony Pace.  Running as part of the Kutz Theatre Series at Centenary Stage Company, his one-man, semi-autobiographical show, dubbed “Up on the Roof” combines musical-comedy, stand-up, and impressions to create a wonderfully entertaining and interactive package that recalls legendary entertainers such as Sammy Davis Jr. and Danny Kaye.

As a performing artist, Tony Pace maintains a preferred headliner status in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and with major event organizations around the world. A three octave plus vocal range combined with 30 years of stage time is the reason that this artist continues to inspire amazement. There’s something about him that keeps fans loyal and coming back again and again, some for the past thirty years. There’s a reason why people say “I need a dose of Tony” or “I need a Tony Pace fix”.  Most likely any show you see with Tony is improvised and never scripted.  The incorporation of his voice, talent, quick comedic wit, musicianship, and keen sense of audiences makes him the phenomenon you need to experience.

The 2014-15 season of performing arts events at the Centenary Stage Company is made possible through the generous support of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the NJ State Council on the Arts, the Shubert Foundation, the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and CSC sponsors, including Premier Sponsor Heath Village Retirement Community, Silver Sponsors Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, The Holiday Inn in Budd Lake, Fulton Bank, and Centenary Stage Company members and supporters.
