(Englewood Cliffs, NJ) -- The Partridge Family was not David Cassidy's first time on television, but it definitely skyrocketed his career. In 1970 when The Partridge Family premiered, David became a phenomenon along with the show. He had the #1 selling single of the year with, "I Think I Love You" multiple Grammy nominations and won a Golden Apple Award. He was so popular, that his fan club grew to become the largest in history, exceeding even Elvis and The Beatles. This fall, the former teen heartthrob will take the stage to perform some old favorites and new hits, at Englewood's bergenPAC. Don't miss this spectacular LIVE performance, Saturday, October 20th at 8P.M.
David has done it all. By the young age of 21, he was already the world's highest paid performer. He has officially sold more than 35 million copies of his records worldwide, with 18 gold and platinum recordings. David Cassidy continued to act and earned an Emmy nomination as Best Dramatic Actor for the telefilm "A Chance To Live," the highest rated "police story" in its 7-year history. David's next logical step was Broadway. He starred in the original production of "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." He went on to star in "Time" at London's prestigious West End and "Blood Brothers" which sold out in the US and Canada.
In 1996, Cassidy opened at the MGM Grand in the $75 million extravaganza "EFX." This show became the most successful production in Las Vegas and brought in more than 1 million paid customers. David was voted "Best All Around Performer" and "Best Singer" for his work in "EFX." After partnering with Don Reo, the two created "The Rat Pack is Back!" and played for sell out audiences in Las Vegas. They also wrote and produced "At The Copa"; a non-stop, 90-minute thrill ride with music spanning the last half of the 20th century. Following a fifteen year absence, David has returned to the stage and is still delighting audiences of all ages.
