Performing Arts Houston presented Jeff Goldblum and his band’s Houston debut in 2019. It was also an evening of surprises, including an impromptu marriage proposal from one audience member to another, which Goldblum agreed to facilitate, and a performance by HSPVA jazz students on stage with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. Be it jazz, conversing with crowds, or working with aspiring musicians, Goldblum does it all with a joyful sense of connection and reveling in the moment.

Jeff Goldblum continues the tradition started during his first visit to Houston in 2019, including three advanced students from Waltrip High School and HSPVA performing on-stage with Jeff & the band to open the show! In the lobby before the performance, more Waltrip Jazz students will perform as the HEB Performance Prelude feature act.
