'Space Oddity' At Suffolk Theater

On January 6, David Bowie is coming to Riverhead’s Suffolk Theater in a most peculiar way. “Space Oddity” is a live, theatrically-staged, multi-media spectacle that transports audiences on a musical journey through the constantly metamorphosing career of Bowie, the celebrated innovator whose career was notable for constant reinvention and visual presentation in both his music and on stage.

During his lifetime, Bowie’s record sales, estimated at over 140 million records worldwide, established him as one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Following his death in 2016, Rolling Stone named him the “Greatest Rock Star Ever.”

David Brighton is internationally recognized as the premier David Bowie impersonator. “Space Oddity” has been performed throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Finland, Germany, Estonia, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Portugal, Israel, New Zealand and China.

An accomplished guitarist, Brighton’s professional career started to take off after joining Quiet Riot shortly after lead guitarist Randy Rhoads left for Ozzy Osborne. But with a record deal in place, Brighton left the band himself after a short while to pursue other artistic ventures.

Brighton’s credits include performing side-by-side with David Bowie himself in TV commercials and on Reality, Bowie’s CD. Brighton has also performed as a resident cast member of “Legends In Concert,” the Las Vegas production show. He was also cast to portray David Bowie in the Warner Brothers feature film “The Watchmen.” He also appeared as Bowie on VH-1 television as well as in international pop star Shakira’s concert video.

Experience Bowie’s miraculous transformation from space-aged rock idol to polished mainstream media star ... and the timeless classics that forever changed the face of pop culture, with David Brighton’ salute to the most electrifying performer of our time.

“Space Oddity” will be performed on Friday, January 6, at 8 p.m. at Suffolk Theater, 118 East Main Street, Riverhead. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $45 to $65 at suffolktheater.com.
