BILL MAHER
February 12 - February 13, 2010
Raleigh Memorial Auditorium
|
 |
For the last fifteen years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television. First on “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last seven years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-one Emmy nominations. In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” directed by Larry Charles (“Borat”). The documentary has gone on to become the 7th Highest Grossing Documentary ever.
In addition to his television program – which has featured such regular visitors as John Edwards, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams, Arianna Huffington, Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore – Maher has written four bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden” and most recently, “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer.”
Maher started his career as a stand-up comedian in 1979, and still performs at least fifty dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold out theaters all across the country. Two of his eight stand-up specials for HBO – 2007’s “The Decider” and 2005’s “I’m Swiss” – have been nominated for Emmy awards.
Maher was born in New York City, raised in River Vale, N.J. and went to Cornell University. He now resides in Los Angeles.

The most romantic of all the '50s and 60s’ doo-wop groups, with such timeless classics as “Only You”, Great Pretenders”, “Love Potion #9”, Herb Reed's Platters, The Tams, Harold Winley's Clovers, Maurice Williams & The Zodiacz, & Johnny Thunder, were some of the most successful vocal groups with an incredible string of pop hits during the ’50s and ’60s. Stylistically, they bridged the Big Band sound and rock – pointing the way to an era in which rock would dominate American music.

The critics are raving.

In 1952, Amalia Hernández, dancer and choreographer, founded the Ballet Folklórico de México, having embarked, at a very early age, on a never-ending quest to rescue the dancing traditions of Mexico. The vital search became a basic need to reflect not only in Mexico but the rest of the world, the beauty of the Universe in motion which started with the pre-Colombian civilizations and grew with the Hispanic influences of the Vice royal era up to the popular strength of the Revolutionary years. In 1954, Amalia started a series of presentations that credited her as the Cultural Representative of Mexico to the world at large. The present time fades before your eyes and thus commences our journey through the past. The Lords of Heaven and Earth come back to life, the Jaguars, the Gods born of human flesh, thirty different cultures that blossomed in centuries once, leaving behind a trail of color in which Amalia Hernández was inspired to create the Ballet Folklórico of México. International success has been achieved during the first tours and has been maintained through the fifty years of incessant artistic endeavors. Starting from the sixties, Amalia Hernández and the Ballet Folklórico de México have developed the choreographies for 40 ballets, composed of 76 folk dancers. The music, technical perfection, sophisticated wardrobe and original choreographies, create this singular character of the Ballet. Amalia Hernández and the Ballet Folklórico de México have been distinguished with more than 200 awards in recognition to their artistic merits.
The Ballet was initiated by performing a weekly program on television, sponsored by the Mexican government. Since the year of 1959 it is being permanently presented at the Palace of Fine Arts, foremost stage for Art Mexico City. The institution has two main artistic companies called The First Company and the Resident Company: both alternate tours and performances in Mexico and abroad. They have already performed more than five thousand presentations. The music, dance and costume of Mexican folklore combined with the talent of their artists have achieved national and international success.

“The spirit of the legendary Freddie Mercury is alive and well and performing as Gary Mullen”
Gary won ITVʼs ʻStars In Their Eyesʼ Grand Final in 2000 as Freddie Mercury, and his life changed forever.
He began a fantastic journey which has taken him, together with his band the works, to virtually every theatre and concert hall in the UK, Germany, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, France & New Zealand.
In 2008 ONOQ embarked on their mission to conquer the USA and sold nearly 100,000 tickets over 2 tours (2008 & 2009) where they sold out in more than 75 cities.

One Night Of Queen have played to sell out crowds worldwide including 45,000 fans at the iconic Hyde Park, London for the prestigious BBC ʻProms In the Parkʼ. They shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, Andrea Bocelli and Simply Red. Impressively they have been invited back to perform at the same event in September 2009 where they will share the stage with Katherine Jenkins and rock the 45,000 strong
audience.
One Night of Queen brings you all of Queensʼs greatest classics including ʻWe Are The Championsʼ, ʻSomebody To Loveʼ, and ʻBohemian Rhapsodyʼ together with fantastic staging, sound and lights.

Athletic bodies and contemporary costumes meet explosive Taiko drumming and innovative choreography in this show that has critics waxing lyrical about TAO’s extraordinary precision, energy, and stamina. With hundreds of sold-out shows and more than a million spectators, TAO has proven that modern entertainment based on the traditional art of Japanese drumming, has massive international appeal.
The stars of TAO live and train at a compound in the mountains of Japan, reaching the highest level of virtuosity only after years of intensive study. However, these performers each bring nontraditional... flair to the group by drawing on their diverse backgrounds: one as a hard rock musician, another a gymnast, and yet another as a composer. They offer a young and vibrantly modern take on a traditional art form.
