Terry Bradshaw Returns To The Stage With One-Man Show
Terry Bradshaw is headed back to the big stage.
While it’s not exactly the big lights of the Super Bowl, the former NFL quarterback is returning to the theatrical stage as part of the Meadows Casino 2014 Summer Concert Series. He will be performing June 14 with an evening of stories and songs.
The series continues with other acts including Motown legend Smokey Robinson, country group The Oak Ridge Boys, and Southern rockers.38 Special.
For Terry Bradshaw, the show represents a return to the stage. Last summer he had a one-man show in Las Vegas titled A Life in Four Quarters, one that allowed the former quarterback to show off his singing and dancing skills.
“Terry is dancing and moves beautifully,” producer Anita Mann said of the show at the Mirage. “He sang in church and has a gospel kind of sound, but he can also do Phantom of the Opera … Well maybe not, but a fun voice.”
The Mirage sold the play as part autobiographical, part comedy:
“A Life in Four Quarters is a 70 minute show of comedy, storytelling and singing, starring one of the country’s best loved football announcers, sports legends and performers, the Steelers legendary #12. During his time on stage, accompanied by his singer/dancers the I-Qties, Terry shares stories about growing up in Louisiana, his 4 Super bowl rings, 3 marriages, toupee model days, his cattle ranch fiasco, and his broadcasting and acting careers divided in ‘four quarters’. Sprinkled throughout the show are short video clips of the funniest moments of his life, plus a few surprise guests.”
Terry Bradshaw has a career that extends far beyond the four Super Bowl championships he won with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After his playing days, Bradshaw made the move to the broadcast booth, and branched out further with roles in several movies including Failure to Launch, Hooper, and Cannonball Run. He’s also recorded gospel and country albums, and had a top 10 hit with a cover of the Hank Williams song “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.”
