Johnny Depp returns to Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding in 2019 Johnny Depp has added his star power to the lineup for Alice Cooper's annual Christmas Pudding concert. He'll be playing with the four surviving members of the original Alice Cooper group–guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, drummer Neal Smith and, obviously, Cooper. They'll be joined on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Pudding's home of the past several years, the Celebrity Theatre, by Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Debbie Sledge of Sister Sledge, Joe Bonamassa and another celebrated Cooper bandmate, lead guitarist Nita Strauss. In a press release, Cooper said, “As always, Solid Rock is trying to put together a show with new and classic headliners. The uniqueness of this concert is that you’ll never see this caliber and variety of artists on the same stage again.” This year's lineup also features the musical comedy of Gary Mule Deer, Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, Mark Slaughter of Slaughter, Comedian Jim Breuer, Sixwire, the Solid Rock Dancers and the Bucket Brigade. Tickets prices range from $50-$800, and can be purchased at the Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St.. celebritytheatre.com and 602-267-1600 ext. 1. The benefit will also feature performances from the Solid Rock Dancers and the winners of this year’s Proof is in the Pudding Musical Talent Search: the Joeys, who revived the sound and spirit of their favorite rockabilly records with reckless abandon to spare and a frontman who was just unhinged enough, and Japhar Pullen, who could've done that same performance at the Grammys and seemed right at home. The kid is a star in the making. All proceeds benefit the free music, dance, arts and vocational programs for teens 12-20 at Alice Cooper's the Rock Teen Center. Depp played Christmas Pudding last year with Hollywood Vampires, a Cooper supergroup that also features Aerosmith's Joe Perry. #alicecooperschristmaspudding2019 #celebritytheater #alicecooper #michaelbruce #dennisdunaway #nealsmith #johnnydepp #deppheadforever #robhalford #judaspriest #debbiesledge #sistersledge #joebonamassa #nitastrauss https://www.instagram.com/p/B5rLXBNJ4Kh/?igshid=i58r2867nyhd
