Fans
gathered at M Resort Spa Casino’s M Pavilion on Saturday evening to witness the
Next Generation, a concert performed by the sons and daughters of Hollywood
legends: Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Louis Prima, Mel Torme and Jerry Lewis.
For
the first time ever, the all-star cast, Ricci Martin, Lorna Luft, Lena Prima
and Steve March-Torme, took the stage together, presenting audiences with
beautiful renditions from their parents’ musical repertoire while Master of
Ceremonies Anthony Lewis emceed the event. A series of amazing video montages
and a powerful 10-piece band, directed by Gary Anderson, delivered an
outstanding performance, envisioned by executive producer Patty Ascher.
Prima
started off the evening with the upbeat hit, “When You’re Smiling,” and
performed a selection of her father’s songs, including “Just A Gigolo.” March-Torme followed with renditions of
“Sweet Georgia Brown,” “The Trolley Song” and “Swingin’ At The Blue Moon Bar
& Grille,” while Martin filled the crowd with excitement singing a variety
of his father’s hit songs including
“Memories Are Made Of This,” “That’s Amore” and “Everybody Loves
Somebody Sometime.” The evening commenced with Luft’s delightful renditions of
“The Man That Got Away” and “Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart,” followed by a
thrilling encore of “Smile,” performed by the entire cast. Originally performed
by Nat King Cole in 1954, “Smile” had special meaning as it was also sung by
Judy Garland and was the theme song of The Jerry Lewis Show from 1967-1969.
