Noone to bring Herman's Hermits to Newton

NEWTON — The Newton Theatre will welcome the return of Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone on Friday, April 21, 2017, at 8 p.m.
Universally regarded as one of Rock and Roll's finest and most versatile entertainers, Peter Noone is second to none. Star of stage, screen and record, Noone's performances are the stuff of legend, deftly delivering a broad palette of music, all gems that through his voice defined a generation.
At the age of 15, Noone achieved international fame as “Herman”, lead singer of the legendary pop band Herman’s Hermits. With over 60 million records sold, 20 of them were top 40 hits including I’m Henry VIII I Am, Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter, I’m Into Something Good, There’s A Kind Of A Hush, and many more. Ultimately, Herman’s Hermits sold over 52 million recordings.
As “Herman”, the photogenic Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication including Time Magazine. He performed on hundreds of television shows and appeared with such luminaries as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye. In addition to performing his music, Peter went on to have an acting career, which included stage, television and film. Taking on each project with zeal, he continued to flourish and charm audiences in every medium he participated in.
The 90s found Peter embarking on a four-year stint as the winsome host of VH1’s My Generation, the highest-ever-rated half hour retrospective of pop/rock music. More recently, he was featured in the recurring role of “Paddington” on the CBS daytime drama, As The World Turns. His legion of fans eagerly awaited each episode and Peter quickly became a favorite of the soap opera magazines and online message boards. He began the millennium with his successful entry into cyberspace and the New York Daily News dubbed him “The King of the Sixties on the Internet” due to the overwhelming popularity of his websites (peternoone.com and hermanshermits.com) and social media.
Accompanied by his band, Herman’s Hermits, Noone consistently plays at sold-out venues and his admirers span the generations. Today’s teen girls scream just as passionately as their mothers did back in 1965, prompting VH1 to select Noone as their viewer’s choice for the “Sexiest Artist of the Year”. There is no doubt that Peter Noone’s extraordinary talent, disarming wit, handsome features and compelling stage presence will continue to delight fans of all ages, for a long, long time to come.
