Givens Performing Arts Center is kicking off its 2022 spring season with the musical tour de force “Forever Young,” featuring some of the biggest hits of the past four generations.

The show is on Saturday, January 22, at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $19 to $24. 

“Forever Young” follows a group of friends as they discover the greatest musical hits of our time. Set in a suburban basement, the cast drops the needle on the record and takes you on a trip down memory lane. The show features the music of Billy Joel, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Huey Lewis & The News, Styx, Queen, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Brooks & Dunn, The Black Crows, Bon Jovi and more.

“We want to start the new year with something high energy and fun for everyone,” said James Bass, executive director of GPAC. “This is one that will have the audience dancing in the aisles, and it’s going to be such a fun time.”

“Forever Young” has been performed for many years in Branson, Missouri, and has received outstanding reviews and awards for its powerhouse vocals, top-notch choreography and a heartfelt storyline that is based on a true story. Now audiences can enjoy the nationally touring, nonstop performance of the show.

The return to live performances at GPAC will also include the Polish Philharmonic Wieniawski Symphony on January 26, Mike Wiley’s “Blood Done Sign My Name” on February 24, Sister Sledge on February 26, The Silhouettes on March 3, the Air Force Band on April 2 and “South Pacific” on April 29.
