Tanglewood - John Davidson

WAMC Northeast Public Radio | By Alan Chartock,

Published August 1, 2014 at 10:10 AM EDT

  Recently, on a quiet day at the Lenox Library – just down the road from Tanglewood – a big time star walked in and offered to do a fund-raiser. Surprised, but delighted, the Library signed him up and the event takes place next Friday night.

Star of stage, screen and television, John Davidson, will provide music and laughter as he sings a selection of American folk, country, and pop favorites at The Lenox Library on August 8th at 7PM.

Now a resident of Lenox, Davidson was the TV host of Hollywood Squares and That’s Incredible, and was a frequent guest host on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Most recently, he performed as The Wizard on the national tour of the Broadway phenomenon Wicked.
