WBTT presents the multi-talented De’zhon Fields celebrating one of the greatest American superstars, Sammy Davis, Jr. This musical revue features all the hits Sammy made famous, such as: “I’ve Gotta Be Me,” “Mr. Bojangles,” and “Candy Man.” For the past ten years, Mr. Fields has traveled worldwide showcasing his homage to the legendary icon known as “Mr. Entertainment.” From Vegas to Dublin, Fields has audiences clamoring for more. Many performers want to emulate Sammy Davis, Jr., who made his debut at the age of four in the 1920s and, for the next 60 years, danced, sang, and acted his way into people’s hearts around the globe. De’zhon Fields didn’t start out his musical career imitating Sammy, but his resemblance and style led him toward creating this tribute. Fields shares more in common with Sammy than similar facial features. He also shares the love and passion of entertainment. Get ready to be thoroughly entertained!
