In its first theatrical venture, Clear Channel Spectacolor joins the producing team of the Broadway revival of Side Show. The deal expands Spectacolor's business interests within the Times Square community, where its digital displays, which advertise national and international brands, are prominently featured.

The Side Show producing team also currently includes Darren Bagert, Martin Massman, Jayne Baron Sherman, Universal Stage Productions, Joan Raffe and Jhett Tolentino, Joined At The Hip, ShadowCatcher Entertainment, Michael Kaiser, Catherine and Fred Adler, Jim Kierstead, Marc Levine, Seaview Productions, Pretty Little Freaks, Matthew Masten, and Jujamcyn Theaters in association with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and La Jolla Playhouse.

Directed by Academy Award winner Bill Condon (Chicago, Dreamgirls), Side Show explores the lives of Daisy and Violet Hilton (Emily Padgett and Erin Davie), a pair of conjoined twins who toured the vaudeville circuit and whose bond was able to bring them fame, but not love. Performances will begin October 28 in advance of a November 17 opening at the St. James Theatre.
