Blast From the Past: Blake Shelton
Just a few years after releasing his debut album, country star Blake Shelton performed at The Paramount. Mr. Shelton was only 29 at the time, and Sue Green, who was part of the Theater’s security team, recalls the singer as being “cute, fun, and every bit the excited rising star.” Mr. Shelton has since charted 40 singles, including 26 number ones, and, outside of his music, may be best known for his time as a coach on the hit singing competition The Voice.

Blast From the Past: Straight No Chaser
In the past 10 years, the members of Straight No Chaser have made the unlikely rise from an undergraduate singing group to a beloved Atlantic Records act with a devoted fanbase. The all male a cappella group took to The Paramount’s stage in 2019 and made the audience rethink the stereotypical image of an a cappella group – not a blue blazer nor pair of khakis were to be seen. The group immediately infected the crowd with their harmonious voices, high energy, and jovial humor. Paramount Front of House Event Staff member Sue Green described Straight No Chaser as “a lovely group of people who were very appreciative of everything done for them.”

Blast From the Past: The Flying Karamazov Brothers
The Flying Karamazov Brothers performed incredible feats of juggling, theatrics, and improv on The Paramount’s stage last fall. The Paramount was honored to host the troupe’s last original member, Paul Magid, aka Dmitri Karamazov, who co-founded the troupe in 1973 and has stuck with it ever since, along with three other Karamazov Brothers – Pavel, Nikita, and Vanka. The troupe performed a variety of tricks, including one of their most famous: The Gamble! Audience members provided objects for the Brothers to juggle, and Dmitri, decked out in his yellow hat and raincoat, was tasked with doing the juggling.
Before the Flying Karamazov Brothers wowed our audience, they were kind enough to sit down with us to answer a few questions, such as why they joined the troupe and which tricks are their favorites. You can read the full interview here.
