The Yale Spizzwinks (?) in Concert
2026-01-03 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | Satellite High School Performing Arts Center, 300 Scorpion Court, Satellite Beach, FL, 32937, United States
The critically acclaimed and world famous Spizzwinks return to Central Florida to present a fun and exciting program. Recent Spizzwink performances include audiences at ESPN, Carnegie Hall, Disney World, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Severance Hall, and the White House. Maintaining a broad repertoire of exclusively original arrangements from the past 112 years – jazz standards, ballads, show tunes, pop and rock music, and humorous numbers – the Spizzwinks are sure to please. No Spizzwinks performance would be complete, however, without a generous dose of our choreography and unique brand of humor. It is this perfect blend of humor, musicality and showmanship that leaves audiences the world over begging for more. In recent years, their fan club has grown to include Senator John Kerry, Magic Johnson, Henry Kissinger, Kelsey Grammer, George Pataki, and Fred Savage. The Spizzwinks(?) are America and the world’s oldest underclassman a cappella group. In an age before iPods or reality TV, when the only way to hear singing without instruments was in the shower, the Spizzwinks showed the world that a bunch of college guys sporting sweet harmonies and a perplexing name was a winning combination. That’s right – they liked a cappella before it was cool. Don’t miss the returning Yale Spizzwinks in Concert!

The Count and Countess graciously welcome the Sheriff and his sizable entourage, assuring him that payment will be presented on the grand Chessboard Stage.
But all is not as it seems…
Word has reached Robin Hood and his loyal companions that the Sheriff is playing a double game—impersonating Robin’s men to plunder the people of Viera, all while demanding coin to defend them from the very same threat.
Outraged, Robin vows to confront the Sheriff and reveal his treachery before all.
The stage is set. Loyalties will be tested. Truths will come to light.
Join us for a thrilling game of Battle Chess, where beloved characters from the adventures of Robin Hood face off in a dramatic showdown. Who will outwit the other and claim victory in Viera?
