Christina Aguilera has sold well over 25 million albums worldwide and cultivated a fan base that crosses generational, racial and gender lines. Now, segueing from the audacious sexuality of her second studio album, “Stripped,” the performer pays tribute to the music that has inspired her with the release of “Back To Basics."
The reigning 2006 CMA, ACM and CMT Vocal Group of the Year, Rascal Flatts has sold over 13 million albums and just wrapped their latest tour with over one million people in attendance. Also in 2006, they have sold more albums than any music act with the sales of “Me And My Gang” and “Feels Like Today” and recently won two American Music Awards.
“Jersey Boys,” the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, is the hottest ticket on Broadway. Based on the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Jersey Boys is the winner of four 2006 Tony Awards® including Best Musical. Other Tony Awards® include Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical, Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and Best Lighting Design of a Musical. “Jersey Boys” officially opened on Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005 at Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre.
