Parks and Recreation star at Fallsview in February
Veteran comic headlines entertainment lineup that includes Avalon theatre stalwarts Marx and Noone
Ron Swanson is packing his bags for Niagara Falls.
Nick Offerman, who played the popular libertarian head of Pawnee’s parks department for seven seasons on “Parks and Recreation,” brings his All Rise tour to the Niagara Fallsview Casino Feb. 29.
The veteran comic actor — husband of “Will & Grace” star Megan Mullally — promises “an evening of deliberative talking and light dance that will compel you to chuckle while enjoining you to brandish a better side of humanity than the one to which we have grown accustomed.”
The veteran actor appeared in shows like ‘The West Wing” and “Deadwood” before landing the iconic role of Ron Swanson on “Parks and Recreation,” playing the surly, government-hating, meat-loving boss of the idealistic Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler).
The character has lived on in countless memes and is routinely ranked among the best sitcom characters in TV history.
Tickets for Offerman start at $45.
He anchors a February lineup at Fallsview that includes the return of Richard Marx on Feb. 15 (tickets start at $35), Josh Groban Feb. 11 and 12 ($150), country singer Scotty McCreery Feb. 21 ($30), casino regulars Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone Feb. 25 to 27 ($25) and the previously announced Fitz and The Tantrums Feb. 22 ($40).
Christmas on Ice also returns Nov. 21 to 30, along with Dec. 1 to 10.
Rounding out the month is an extended run of the Havanathemed musical “Conga” Feb. 4 to 10. Tickets start at $30.
Tickets for Marx, Christmas on Ice and Fitz and The Tantrums are available now at www.ticketmaster.ca, all Ticketmaster outlets and the casino box office.
Tickets to all the other shows in the lineup go on sale Friday at noon.
