For the first time ever, rising star Chris Ruggiero brings his celebrated Livin’ the Dream tour to the Mt. Gretna Playhouse for an evening of timeless music and heartfelt storytelling.

Called “the next Justin Timberlake,” this charismatic young performer has quickly captured the hearts of audiences nationwide with his powerful voice, magnetic stage presence, and inspiring personal journey. From national PBS specials and Good Morning America appearances to sold-out theaters across the country, Chris is redefining the modern-day crooner.

With a sensational six-piece band behind him, Chris breathes new life into classic songs from the last six decades — blending hits by artists like Adele and Bruno Mars with the golden melodies of legends like Frankie Valli, Lionel Richie, and The Righteous Brothers. His one-of-a-kind arrangements seamlessly bridge generations, creating a musical experience that resonates with all ages.

At the heart of the show is Chris’s remarkable true story — a dreamer who believed he could bring joy to people through music, and is now doing exactly that on stages across America. Livin’ the Dream is more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of hope, perseverance, and the enduring power of great songs.

Audiences leave smiling, singing, and inspired — and this summer, Mt. Gretna will get to experience it firsthand.
