Tickets for the first show are already sold out, but tickets for the 9:30 show go on sale this Friday, November 13th at noon through the Count Basie Box Office, by phone at (732) 842-9000, and online at thebasie.org.

Ticket prices range from $50-$500 and they WILL sell out, so act fast!

Not only is it sure to be an incredible show, but I don't have to tell you how very important Mary's Place by the Sea is to me. It's a non-profit respite facility in Ocean Grove that provides services of all kinds completely free of charge to women with cancer. It's an amazing group, and I urge you to find out more about them by visiting marysplacebythesea.org.
