Wyndham you want the best...we are bringing you the best...

This show is so accurate musically and theatrically it even drew praise from KISS great Paul Stanley and his ROCKSTAR Band on a recent tour. Bruce Kutick gave the show the two thumbs up and seal of authenticity. The band has also been heralded in Impress for their great ability to not only recreate the sounds and emulate the mannerism of KISS, but to also recreate the experience.
