Peter Noone And Herman’s Hermits Hit The Stage

Peter Noone is a legendary, multi-talented entertainer who has been delighting audiences nearly all his life. At the young age of 15, Peter achieved international fame as “Herman,” lead singer of the legendary pop band Herman’s Hermits. On Sunday, April 3, at 4 p.m. Suffolk Theater will present a concert by Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, whose classic hits include: “I’m Into Something Good,” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter,” “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” “Silhouettes,” “Can’t You Hear My Heartbeat,” “Wonderful World” and many more. Ultimately, Herman’s Hermits sold over 52 million recordings, with 14 singles and seven albums that went gold.

As “Herman,” Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication including Time Magazine, performed on hundreds of television shows, and appeared with such luminaries as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye. His acclaimed musical career even reached into acting when he was cast as the engaging “Duke of Cheshire” in ABC’s musical version of “The Canterville Ghost.” Soon thereafter, he portrayed the title role in Hallmark Hall of Fame’s “Pinocchio.” He also starred in three highly successful feature films for MGM.

In 1981, he starred on Broadway in the New York Shakespeare Festival’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance.” He went on to perform roles in prime-time television series such as “Married With Children” and “Laverne and Shirley.”

The 1990s found Noone embarking on a four-year stint as the 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.” He began the millennium with his successful entry into cyberspace and has experienced overwhelming popularity on his websites PeterNoone.com and HermansHermits.com.

Accompanied by his band, Herman’s Hermits, Noone still performs over 200 concerts a year to sold-out venues full of fans that span generations — and now Suffolk Theater will be one of them. Tickets are $55 to $75, at suffolktheater.com. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street, Riverhead.
