(PITMAN, NJ) -- The Broadway Theatre of Pitman presents A Tribute to Pat Benatar (Best Shot) and Bon Jovi (1 Wild Night) on Saturday, October 11, 2025 at 8:00pm.

Best Shot is a dynamic live tribute to one of the most influential female rock vocalists of all time, the great Pat Benatar.  The band recreates a classic Benatar concert featuring note-for-note renditions by stellar lead vocalist, Melissa Lotardo.  Melissa impeccably recreates Pat Benatar’s classic look and sound from her 80’s heyday.

Audiences will thrill to Melissa’s renditions of Pat Benatar’s greatest hits including Shadows of the Night,  Heartbreaker, Love Is a Battlefield, and all the rest.

1 WILD NIGHT, “the Official Band of Girls’ Night Out,” has been wowing Bon Jovi fans and building a loyal following in the New York Tri-State area since 2013. Featuring look- and sound-alike lead singer Alex Barbieri as “Jon Bon Jovi,” the band also includes pro musicians: keyboardist MJ, guitarist Marc Amendola, drummer Rob Servedio and bassist Brendan Cummings. All have decades of experience performing live at bars, clubs and theaters. They sing and harmonize live (no backing tracks), use top-of-the-line equipment, are responsible and business-minded—and bonus—they’re nice guys, too.

At a 1 WILD NIGHT show, you’ll hear all the classics spanning Bon Jovi’s remarkable 30-year career, from their break out single, “Runaway” to megahits “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Wanted Dead or Alive,” plus ‘80s rock hits by Def Leppard, Journey, Whitesnake, and more!

Tickets are $35 and available for purchase online. The Broadway Theatre of Pitman is located at 43 S Broadway in Pitman, New Jersey.

Rated PG: Enjoyable for all ages, though some performances may be better suited for ages 10 and up.

Originally opened in May 1926, the Broadway operated as a fully equipped movie and vaudeville theater with 1,090 seats, including the balcony and eight boxes. The opulent New Jersey theatre was created in a French Revival motif by the Philadelphia firm of Eberhard, Magaziner, and Harris.

Two crystal chandeliers light the house and inner lobby of the Broadway. And, a great deal of the original cast plaster detail remains intact today with the original molds still on the premises. A small orchestra pit, four private dressing rooms, a common room, two bathrooms, and a pipe organ blower room in the basement can also be found.

The Broadway Theatre of Pitman still has its original 3/8 Kimball theatre pipe organ – a unique instrument for its size. The Southern Jersey Theatre Organ Society has restored the Kimball to full concert status.
