Paramount goes ‘Back to the Eighties’

Grace McQuade

Crowds of fans and newcomers alike will throw on their best spandex, leg-warmers and heavy-metal gear and head on out to an all-out celebration — the Back to the Eighties Show at The Paramount on Friday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m.

The party grows bigger every year, with hundreds of fans showing up to sing at the top of their lungs, dance, bang their heads and have the time of their lives.

The night features top-notch musicians and vocal performers from the group Jessie’s Girl, who blow fans away with stunning renditions of the world’s most vibrant songs while dressed up as the unforgettable characters of that decade.

Here you can relive the music and vibe of Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince and more, who will come to life on stage right before the bedazzled eyes of the crowd.

It’s theatre meets live music smothered in ‘80s glitz — a performance like no other, and a party you have to experience to believe.

Jessie’s Girl’s primary lineup includes a team of NYC’s top rock and pop vocalists — up-and-coming star Jenna O’Gara, Off-Broadway’s Chris Hall and renown “Sting” impersonator Mark Rinzel, with frequent appearances by Broadway’s own Constantine Maroulis, the Tony-nominated star of “Rock Of Ages” and “American Idol” finalist.

They are backed by one of the tightest bands in the city comprised of 20-plus year veterans of the New York City music scene: Eric Presti on guitar, Sky on keys, Drew Mortali on bass, and Michael Maenza on drums — each with dozens of credits performing with the actual ‘80s icons who made their music famous.

There is no decade like the ‘80s, and no party like the Back to the Eighties Show.

So throw on your neon-colored best and spray up that hair — because it’s time to party like it’s 1989.

The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.
