The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, CA, will celebrate its 35th
anniversary next month with a four-night run of "Zappa Plays Zappa"
(12/10-13) and a New Year's Eve show with The Wailers.

The Roxy, which opened in the late fall of 1973, will host the two
shows to commemorate the milestone and to celebrate the fact that the
Sunset Blvd. venue is one of longest-running independently owned and
operated musical establishments in the Los Angeles area, according to
a press release.

"Zappa Plays Zappa," led by Dweezil Zappa, will perform a variety of
songs the late musical icon Frank Zappa wrote from the 1960s through
the 1980s.

The Wailers will perform in its entirety "Exodus," which Time magazine
called the "Album of the Century" in 1999.

A DVD of ZPZ performances from the Roxy would be pretty cool. But, of
course, not nearly as cool as the actual FZ & the Mothers Roxy
performances on DVD.
