Cheap Trick is coming to the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Saturday, Aug. 24
Cheap Trick may be one the most covered bands of all time. Since the ‘70s they’ve been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable.
With classic hits such as “I Want You to Want Me,” “Surrender,” and “The Flame,” Cheap Trick have become a musical institution.
They even wrote the theme song to the TV show, “The Colbert Report.”
With more than 5,000 performances, 20 million records sold, 29 movie soundtracks and 40 gold and platinum recording awards, the band was honored in October 2007 by the Chicago Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences for their contributions to the music industry.
The band has most recently performed their “Dream Police” album in its entirety along with an orchestra in select cities across the U.S. This innovative show also includes many other songs from the band’s extensive catalog, garnering them critical acclaim after performances in venues such as the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Their most current release, “The Latest,” released on CD, vinyl and 8-track, has garnered glowing reviews worldwide and continues Cheap Trick’s reign as power-pop progenitors over their 35 years in the music industry.
The show is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $39.50, $49.50 and $69.50 plus applicable service charges and are available now online at www.ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at 800-745-3000 or at the Westbury box office.
