Welcome back to our first repeat guest, the incomparable Tony Clark, Director of Communications for Cedar Point Amusement Park! Joining Tony to talk all things entertainment is Cedar Point’s Director of Live Entertainment, Lisa Jones. Lisa gives us the inside scoop on this summer’s core live shows, including a nineties musical tribute, country hits, and a doo-wop-style acapella group, plus live appearances from The Peanuts™ gang! There are also three stages hosting the “Bands in Residence” program, where local and regional bands play weekly. There really is something for all musical tastes. We also get a little behind-the-scenes look at Cedar Point’s annual talent search and how several performers have gone on to great things in the entertainment industry. Both Tony and Lisa preview the upcoming “Boardwalk Nights” special event and tells us what we can expect from this fully-immersive experience which includes cirque-style acts, shows, contests and games, and special menu items both in The Boardwalk area of the park and on Cedar Point’s famous beach. Boardwalk Nights runs nightly from July 19-August 19 (excluding Tuesdays.) It’s so amazing you’ll have to see it multiple times to experience it all! Since we are in the heat of the summer, we also chat about Cedar Point Shores Waterpark and learn which attraction Dayton loves that you won’t find Tony and Lisa anywhere near! Tony talks to us about different pass and ticket options for visiting Cedar Point and the variety of resort lodging offered. No HalloWeekends spoilers, but we do chat a bit about other live entertainment installations such as the “Seasons of Joy” event at Sawmill Creek Resort for the holiday season. Learn more about the live shows at the park and plan your visit at CedarPoint.com.
