Starting as a vaudeville act in the 1920s, The Mills Brothers have remained one of the most enduring ensembles in American popular music. With hits like “Glow Worm,” “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Paper Doll,” their smooth sound and tight harmonies have been favorites of generations of listeners. Featuring John Mills and Elmer Hopper, who spent 22 years with the Platters, the current members of the group perform the repertoire in the original keys and with the original scores.

Whipping up another treat for the eyes and ears, vocal funny gay guys Captain Smartypants take audiences on a flight of fancy in a special Halloween show. Part radio show, part beauty contest, part pop song tribute and part three-ring circus, Captain Smartypants takes on bad movies, bad food, bad hair and everything we love about them.
