The 17th Annual
Last Waltz Revisited
(Beaver Creek)
Fri, Nov. 26, 2021 | Vilar Performing Arts Center | Beaver Creek, CO
COME JOIN US FOR THE 1ST EVER LAST WALTZ REVISITED PERFORMANCE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO.
The 17th Annual Last Waltz Revisited will showcase members of Polytoxic together with 25+ musicians from across Colorado; this show has become an annual tradition, bringing the front range community together to kick-off the holiday season.
This will be the 1st Performance of the show in the Mountains of Colorado. The excitement of bringing this production to Beaver Creek is immense and the artists are truly looking forward to the show.
The musicians will perform the music of The Band and will celebrate the 45th Anniversary of The Band’s historical performance, The Last Waltz. To celebrate the last 17 years of our performance, we have added a number of special guests as well as Vail Valley musicians: Mark Levy, Michael Jude, John Michel, Rob Eaton Jr and Scott Rednor with more to be announced soon.
The Last Waltz culminates the official Holiday Canned Food and Desired Hygiene Items Drive that benefits the Denver Rescue Mission. With the support of Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta, Boyer’s Coffee, YellowDog Printing & Graphics, All Stars Ink, KBCO and The Westword, we are again reaching out and seeking to give back to the community by supporting the Denver Rescue Mission.
We will donate a portion of the show’s proceeds to the Denver Rescue Mission and we will give any fan that brings canned food items to the venue (on the day of the show) a FREE Special Artwork Poster.
We invite you to share this special night with our musical family and participate in our efforts to collect as many cans of food and desired items as possible for The Denver Rescue Mission to assist needy families during this Holiday Season. So get out and support the 17th Annual Last Waltz Revisited.
We hope you will join us for the 17th year of a musical event that not only supports a worthy cause but, has become a family affair.
Please get your tickets early as the show has sold-out every year in the past!
