Bacharach and David wrote hit songs for many entertainers, including Tom Jones, Dusty Springfield, The Fifth Dimension, Herb Alpert, BJ Thomas and The Carpenters, but it was their long-standing association with vocalist Dionne Warwick that kept topping the charts. Tickets are $17 regular; $15 student/senior.
