Troupe Productions Brings to Life Rock and Pop Music History in a Live Theatrical Concert Experience Launching Nov. 9 in the Woodstock Room
In conjunction with the opening of the spectacular new Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs, a new musical experience is set to transform downtown Palm Springs with the launch of the innovative, new The Edge Series – The Next Generation of Entertainment produced by Troupe Productions. Beginning this November, The Edge will elevate the music and entertainment scene in Palm Springs by propelling its audiences into a world of pop and rock history featuring the best talent from stage and screen. Performances are set for Friday and Saturday nights inside the Hard Rock Hotel’s Woodstock Room. The distinctive musical residency will begin its first run this November. Tickets and information are available at www.theedgepalmsprings.com. The first show, Top Rock, is a tribute to the greatest rock bands in history and will raise the decibels and propel its audiences into a new musical realm when it debuts the weekend of Nov. 8-9.
“We have created a musical performance unlike anything that has ever been seen or heard in Palm Springs,” explains Jim Casey, partner at Troupe Productions. “With The Edge Series, we have developed a concept which allows our amazing cast to take the audience into a fantastical world of pop and rock history.” Each month, The Edge will feature a new musical focus, with November being Top Rock – a 75 minute show paying tribute to the biggest names in the music industry; shredding hits from the Beatles, Aerosmith, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Guns N’ Roses, and more. The live performance showcases the greatest singers, hottest dancers and a live band set in an intimate theater setting. “We have assembled the most talented crew ever to perform in Palm Springs,” notes Trini Garza, producer/partner at Troupe Productions. “Our cast has performed on television, Broadway and on stages across the world. We are lucky to have this type of talent all on one stage at the amazing new Hard Rock Hotel right in the center of downtown Palm Springs.”
“Palm Springs is an amazing destination,” adds Kim Waltrip, partner, Troupe Productions. “We felt the timing was right with the arrival of the Hard Rock Hotel to turn up the volume and rock the town a bit…louder, brighter and with an edge. Just like we are doing with the upcoming Palm Springs Fashion Weekend (www.palmspringsfw.com) and Feartastic (www.feartastic.com), The Edge Series is part of Troupe’s goal of creating distinctive and top notch entertainment and cultural events for locals, as well as for tourists visiting Palm Springs.”
