The best is yet to come, and it’s coming November 19 with. Grab your seats for an evening of Sinatra at the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre.

"SALUTE TO SINATRA," starring Gene Pietragallo and the Paul McDonald Big Band, is not a tribute or impersonation performance. It is best described as a salute to the Sinatra era. The name Sinatra, alone, conjures memories of "growing up Frank" - that unmistakably rich, lush sound of vinyl LPs playing at family gatherings, or on road trips listening on the car radio. Sinatra songs spoke directly to you. He led the pack with some of the most popular songs of all time. Some of Sinatra's biggest hits, along with some notable tunes from other iconic vocalists, will be featured in this debut concert event. Accompanied by an amazing 17 piece big band, Gene brings you a powerful, nostalgic musical experience worthy of this wonderfully historic theater.

📣 NEW SHOW ALERT: DARREN CRISS

Emmy, Golden Globe and Tony Award winner Darren Criss will take the stage at the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre on Tuesday, December 1, for the Darren Criss Anniversary Concert. The performance falls exactly one year after the Plaza reopened its doors on December 1, 2025 with a gala concert featuring Cynthia Erivo, following an extensive restoration and more than a decade of closure.

The concert also launches the theatre's 90th anniversary celebration, which begins on December 12, 2026, ninety years after the Plaza first opened in downtown Palm Springs.

Since stepping onto the scene more than a decade ago on the hit TV series Glee, Criss has built a career defined by artistry that refuses to stay within a single form or genre. His concerts draw songs from across that career as both a songwriter and performer, including material from Glee, StarKid and the Broadway productions including Maybe, Happy Ending where he won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical.

"A year ago, we brought the lights back on at The Plaza for the first time in more than a decade. Celebrating that night with an artist of Darren's range, and using it to open our 90th year, is exactly the kind of moment this theatre was restored for," said John Bolton, GM Plaza Theatre/SVP Oak View Group.

Tickets for Darren Criss on December 1st at the Palm Springs Plaza Theatre start at $49 and go on sale Friday, October 23 at 10am pacific.

📅 Mark Your Calendars! 📅

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is coming to The Plaza for a very special screening Nov. 1!

Directed and produced by Stanley Kramer and released by United Artists, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World is an epic slapstick comedy featuring one of the most celebrated ensemble casts in Hollywood history — Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Phil Silvers, Dick Shawn, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, The Three Stooges, Jimmy Durante, and many more.

The film was largely shot on location in Palm Springs and Palm Desert, and Stanley Kramer, a former Palm Springs resident with a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars — maintained deep ties to the Coachella Valley throughout his career. The picture was nominated for six Academy Awards and won the Oscar for Best Sound Effects and is widely celebrated for its return to the Mack Sennett tradition of big-screen slapstick.

The It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World event will be hosted by Kat Kramer and Karen Sharpe-Kramer, daughter and widow of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kramer, who will be joined by author James Curtis for a book signing and Q&A. Additional activities for the event include: a costume contest, trivia games, and an online treasure hunt. Dress in your finest early 1960s outfits (show us your best Mrs. Marcus or Lennie Pike!) and come ready to win prizes.

Proceeds From This Event Will Support The Palm Springs Theatre Foundation
