Although he’s keeping the details under wraps, Brown has said that with An Evening of Alton Brown he’s “stirring up some twists on his greatest hits,” and “spicing things up with new demonstrations, music and slightly scaled-down mayhem.” No matter what, An Evening of Alton Brown will present Brown as you’ve never seen him — unless, of course, you’ve been invited to his house. Best known for creating and hosting groundbreaking television such as “Good Eats,” “Iron Chef America,” “Cutthroat Kitchen” and “Food Network Star,” Brown has also built one of the most successful culinary touring franchises ever, performing live in more than 300 cities for well over half a million fans.


VIP Tickets include a special VIP experience one hour before curtain time. It will include a brief Q&A session in the Theatre. VIP ticket holders will also receive a signed copy of Alton’s book. There will be no photos or autographs (like a M&G), however, photos will be allowed during the experience. Video is strictly prohibited.
