From television to recording and record breaking concert tours, from Broadway to Las Vegas production shows, television sitcom creation and producing, writing and directing both television and live theatrical productions, David Cassidy has made his mark and been lauded accordingly. Hailing from a theatrical family including mother Evelyn Ward, highly respected stage and television star Jack Cassidy, and Academy Award winning stepmother Shirley Jones, his fate as a performer was essentially seeded at a young age. It was by coincidence that he wound up starring with Shirley Jones in the astonishing success 'The Partridge Family,' which launched one of the most spectacular careers in the entertainment business. In 1970, the year the show premiered, David skyrocketed to the top of the charts and the show became a phenomenon, as did its young star. He had the #1 selling single of the year, and garnered multiple Grammy nominations. Over the next five years, his official fan club grew to become the largest in history, exceeding those of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. And then came his introduction on Broadway, which opened a whole new world for him. He starred in the original production of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat' to rave reviews and successful box office response. In 1996, David opened at the MGM Grand in the $75 million extravaganza 'EFX.' Under David's creative direction the show was entirely re-vamped, and became the most successful production in Las Vegas.
