Bill Spera

reservationsDine With Us.

“The Kid Inside” is a musical journey about keeping the awe and wonder of childhood alive as we grow into adulthood, and about learning to trust what our inner child is telling us. Bill explores how music has enabled him to do just that in his own life, with songs from the worlds of Broadway, Top 40, and the Great American Songbook. Musical Direction and Accompaniment by Chip Prince, Story Concept by Bill Spera, and Script by Scott Calcagno.
