The Performing Arts Center at UNLV presents legendary composer and conductor Marvin Hamlisch in "The World of Marvin Hamlisch" at 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 22 as part of the Best of the New York Stage series.

Hamlisch, performing his most famous songs from "A Chorus Line," "The Goodbye Girl," "The Way We Were," and many others, will be accompanied by members of the UNLV Symphony Orchestra and UNLV Jazz Ensembles.

As a composer, Hamlisch has won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony, and three golden Globes. His groundbreaking show, "A Chorus Line," received a Pulitzer Prize.

Tickets to Marvin Hamlisch are $35, $45, and $60 and can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center Box Office at 895-ARTS (2787) or by visiting UNLVTickets.com. Student rush tickets are $10 each and available one hour prior to each event, based on availability and with valid student I.D. UNLV faculty and staff discounts also are available. The box office is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Information about all of the season's performances can be found on the Performing Arts Center website.

Founded in 1976, the Performing Arts Center at UNLV continues to be Southern Nevada's premier performing arts venue. Located on the north end of the UNLV campus, and served by a recently built parking garage, the PAC hosts a variety of performances each year in three very distinct series - the Charles Vanda Master Series, Best of the New York Stage, and The World Stage. UNLV and KLVX Channel 10 are graciously sponsoring the 2003-2004 Season, "A Season of Colors."
