"We are most excited for booking the Palladium and its beautiful restoration," said Roger Neal.

Entertainment will include live on stage R&B Pop sensation/Foundation Records recording artist 22 yr. old ROGER NEAL, and his dancers followed by Richard Halpern's Hollywood Cavalcade show with a live band, (from LA's Cicada Club) and special guests performing high brow music from the 20's and 30's. A special appearance by Howard Hewett of Shalamar will rock the Palladium performing at the after party.
