\nWho is \;John Davidson? \; Well....it has been quite a journey as this wholesome all-American boy has grown into a crazy old liberal! \;It was John&rsquo\;s performances in the major showrooms of Las Vegas that established him as one of America&rsquo\;s foremost entertainers. But you&rsquo\;ve got to see him live! While he still is.
\n
\nAfter finishing up starring roles on Broadway in "\;Finding Neverland"\; and "\;Wicked\,"\; John returns to his true passion. The troubadour.
\n
\nAmerican audiences probably know him best as the TV host of \;The Hollywood Squares\, and \;That&rsquo\;s Incredible!\, as well as the guest host of \;The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson \;(80 evenings\, more than any other singer). Remember when he co-starred with \;Sally field \;in the TV series \;The Girl With Something Extra? \; (And had a crush on her\, by the way. \; Now\, she never calls.) Can you believe it? Over 50 years ago\, John graduated with a B.A. from the theater arts department at Denison University and arrived on Broadway where he debuted in \;Foxy\, starring \;Burt Lahr. \;later he would star in \;State Fair \;and win a \;Theater Guild Award \;for playing Curly in the Broadway revival of \;Oklahoma! He went on to tour the US in multiple Broadway musicals. (He really can&rsquo\;t remember how many. Really.)
\n
\nTV producer \;Bob Banner \;molded John'\;s career by casting him in (his TV debut) in \;The Fantasticks. He then hosted his own daytime talk show\, too many beauty pageants\, the \;Tom Jones \;summer replacement series\, as well as \;The Kraft Summer Music Hall \;with regulars \;George Carlin\, Flip Wilson\, and \;Richard Pryor. Banner was also responsible for 13 Columbia Records albums. \;So\, why not a hit record? Hello?
\n
\nJohn is also a movie star! Your kids might know him now from videos of his Disney films: \;The Happiest Millionaire \;and \;The One And Only Genuine Original Family Band! He was also in \;Airport 80\, \;Edward Scissorhands \;and \;The Squeeze.
\n
\nAlong the way\, John and his wife\, Rhonda created the geography card game BORDERLINE USA and he wrote a book and a play. John played The Wizard in the Broadway musical \;Wicked\, and most recently\, he portrayed Charles Frohman/Captain James Hook in \;Finding Neverland.

\n\n

And now he has returned to his true love\, entertaining America as a traveling troubadour/singer/songwriter/storyteller with his original songs\, his jokes\, his guitar and his backup singers\, THE INFLATABLES! So\, is he a comedian\, an author\, an actor\, a musician\, a TV host\, a singer\, an entertainer\, or just an old friend that you just can&rsquo\;t seem to get rid of? Who is John Davidson?
