Fleet Week's "A Salute To Our Heroes"



Bollotta Entertainment created and produced the USO Show entitled "A Salute To Our Heroes," for San Diego's Fleet Week Foundation. Written by Anthony Bollotta, the performance included America's favorite standards such as the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", "I'll Be Seeing You", "Accentuate The Positive" and "Sentimental Journey". The show also featured Joe Raposo's "America Is," written to celebrate the anniversary of the Statue of Liberty and Betty Hutton's comedy song entitled "I'm Doin' It For Defense".

Comprised of 8 professional singers, including the hilarious Eileen Bowman and enchanting Susan De Leon, the show featured Bollotta's own Chris Thomas and Anthony Bollotta. Off-Broadway composer and lyricist Rayme Sciaroni provided the show's musical accompaniment.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Performs for FM Global

Bollotta Entertainment kicked off the San Diego summer with a performance by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Booked for FM Global, through New Jersey based meeting planning company, The Charles Group, Frankie's 90-minute show featured the singer's greatest hits, such as "Rag Doll", "Walk Like A Man", "Grease", and "My Eyes Adored You" along with selections from his newly released album, Romancing The 60's.

Personable and able to reach those outrageously high notes that made him a hit throughout the 1960s and 70s, Frankie and his Seasons whipped a historically sedate crowd of insurance professionals into a frenzy of dancing, celebrating concert goers.

Staged at San Diego's legendary Humphrey's By The Bay outdoor concert venue, Frankie's show was complete with full rhythm and five-piece horn sections, replicating those distinctly lush arrangements of yesteryear. His witty, yet endearingly humble banter with the audience showed off that star quality that typically separates the posers from the real McCoys.

Frankie is indeed the real McCoy. Playing off of the incredible success of Broadway's Jersey Boys, which continues to tour the U.S., his show is as relevant now as it was forty years ago. For an evening of classic hits and timeless charm, Valli is the word!
