The Roxy celebrates anniversary with Zappa, Wailers

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.
