The Newton Theatre presents Shaun Cassidy

originally published: 06/11/2025

(NEWTON, NJ) -- Shaun Cassidy will bring his The Road to Us tour to The Newton Theatre on Friday, October 24, 2025.  Cassidy is an American writer, producer, actor and singer. Doors are at 7:00pm; showtime is 8:00pm.

After originally making his name as a performer, Cassidy went on to create, write, and produce a number of critically acclaimed television series including American Gothic (produced with Sam Raimi), Roar (starring Heath Ledger), Cold Case, Cover Me, The Agency, Invasion, and Emerald City. Cassidy most recently spent five years as executive producer and writer for the hit NBC/NETFLIX series New Amsterdam.

The son of Tony award winning actor Jack Cassidy and Academy award winner Shirley Jones (and half-brother of the late singer/actor David Cassidy), Shaun grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While still in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums and numerous top ten hits including the number #1 Da Roo Ron Ron, That's Rock 'N Roll, Hey Deanie, and Do You Believe In Magic.

Cassidy received a Grammy nomination for his efforts and performed at every major arena in the country including Houston’s Astrodome and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Almost concurrently, he starred in the ABC television series The Hardy Boys Mysteries. Later, while appearing for over a year on Broadway in the hit musical Blood Brothers, Shaun wrote his first television pilot, American Gothic. When the show debuted, The New York Times called it “The most original new show of the season.”

Tickets range from $69-$102 and are available for purchase online. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.

From 2020-2024, Cassidy took his self-penned music and storytelling show, The Magic of a Midnight Sky, to the stage, playing to SRO crowds nationwide and selling out five consecutive nights at New York's Fifty-Four below. The critic from Broadway World noted: "We haven't seen this man, this entertainer, in live concert for four decades, and we want to. We never stopped wanting to. So, we all went. And the voice is still there. The voice is still powerful, still full of emotion, texture, color, and technique. Not one moment of the The Magic of a Midnight Sky should be changed. This show is a dream. Shaun Cassidy, welcome home. We missed you and are so happy to have you back."

Shaun makes his home in the wine country of Santa Barbara with his wife, Tracey, their four children, and more animals than he can count. In collaboration with No Kid Hungry, their family produces a collection of fine wines, My First Crush, which donates money to feed hungry children nationwide. Shaun is excited to be launching his next live music and storytelling tour, The Road to US, in the fall of 2025.

The Newton Theatre was founded in 1924. It is a beautifully restored 605 seat performing arts center in the heart of Sussex County, presenting diverse programming, including world-renowned music acts, comedians, family productions, holiday shows and much more.
