The Mills Brothers & The Four Aces

A Valentine's Day trip down memory lane

This New Year, resolve to rewind the clock to a time of simple comforts.

Recent Vocal Group Hall of Fame inductees, The Four Aces, are waiting to take you back to the 1950's with their beautiful renditions of "Three Coins in a Fountain," "Tell Me Why," and "Love is a Many Splendored Thing."  The individual talents of each member - including the musicianship, vocals, comedy, impressions, and fluent Italian singing - combine to create the superb showmanship that has sustained The Four Aces as an entertainment "must-see" for decades.  Enjoy this rare, nostalgic opportunity to reminisce in the comfort of the Robinson theatre.

Teaming up with The Four Aces on this double bill are the fabulous Mills Brothers starring John Mills with Elmer Hopper.  The magic continues unabated today under the leadership of John - son, grandson, and nephew of the original group's members.  Elmer spent 21 years with the renowned Platters after being trained by Paul Robi, the Platters' original baritone.  Together they recreate the inimitable harmonies and sounds of The Mills Brothers in the original keys and with the original scores, as they vocalize on such classics as "Cab Driver," "Glow Worm," "Lazy River," and "Paper Doll."  With a certifiable hit each year between 1935 and 1947 and at least three dozen legitimate hits spanning their career, these are entertainers whose repertoire you won't want to miss.

The Four Aces and The Mills Brothers will be appearing here for just two performances on Valentine's Day - Saturday, February 14 - so be sure to escape back in time with the one you love most.
