CLEARWATER – Some call Alice Cooper the Master of Shock Rock, Black Humorist Supreme, or simply one of the era's great showmen, but everyone agrees his mark has been undeniable, and he comes to Ruth Eckerd Hall with his Theatre of Death Tour ’09 on Friday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 21 at noon.
With the release of his 2008 album, Along Came A Spider, Cooper shows no sign of slowing down. Recent tour highlights have included a stop at the legendary Montreux Festival, filmed for a live DVD, three shows in 2006 in North America as special guests to The Rolling Stones, and concerts throughout North & South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Along Came A Spider, reviewed widely as a worthy addition to Alice’s catalog of themed albums, sets the story of a serial killer to music.
Alice Cooper touched a deep nerve in the minds of teenagers everywhere, bringing him countless gold and platinum albums from around the world, including Love It To Death, Billion Dollar Babies, Welcome To My Nightmare, and Trash, featuring such anthems as Eighteen, Elected, School's Out, and No More Mr. Nice Guy, as well as the classics Only Women Bleed and Poison.
The Coop has appeared (with stars including Helen Hayes, Mae West and Gene Wilder, among others) in movies and television, including, most notably, Wayne's World, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Roadie, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, and Something Wilder, with Gene Wilder.
The road is still Cooper's second home as he continues to tour extensively throughout the world, with a full schedule planned for his 2009 itinerary. Alice Cooper brought show business and rock 'n roll together in ways never seen before (and rarely seen since). After all the shock waves he has caused, the legend of Alice Cooper continues strong into the new millennium.
Reserved tickets priced at $65, $55, $45 and $35 will be available at the Ruth Eckerd Hall Ticket Office located at 1111 McMullen Booth Road in Clearwater, by calling 727-791-7400 or online at www.rutheckerdhall.com.
