Remember Jones to Be First Performer at Mantoloking Road Playhouse with JONES SINGS JONES!

(BRICK, NJ) -- Remember Jones, Asbury Park native known nationally for his theatrical performances and original music, has been announced as the first artist to play Brick's first live theater, Mantoloking Road Playhouse. Remember Jones will bring his 17-piece big band to present JONES SINGS JONES! on March 21-22, 2025.

This brand new, 120-seat theater, will be the home of Brick Children’s Community Theater and other live events, and has been built and owned by Anthony and Kendra Zarrilli. Remember Jones (or, then, Anthony D’Amato) is an alumni of the BCCT.

“I spent every summer from ages 12-18 starring in shows with BCCT,” Remember Jones says. “To have the opportunity to raise funds and awareness for a group that introduced me to so many lifelong friends and lessons is a proud honor!”

For two performances, Remember Jones will bring his 17-piece big band to present, JONES SINGS JONES!, a one of a kind celebration of Tom Jones, which includes the entire album, Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas! recorded at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in the summer of 1969 and more. This show previously sold out 4 performances at the new Bell Theater in Bell Works in Holmdel. 

Friday, March 21st will be a gala performance and fundraising event for BCCT. Saturday, March 22nd will be a special added public performance, though tickets are available for purchase online. Mantoloking Road Playhouse is located at 266 Mantoloking Road in Brick, New Jersey.
