A Legend Takes the Stage: Randy Edelman Live at the Bellmore

Get ready, Long Island — one of Hollywood’s most celebrated composers and songwriters is coming to your backyard. On July 24, the legendary Randy Edelman brings his incomparable musical world to the Bellmore Movies and The Showplace, the oldest theater in New York, for an evening that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.

For decades, Randy Edelman’s music has been the invisible heartbeat of some of cinema’s most beloved films. His scores have anchored blockbusters and cult classics alike — from the thundering battle anthems of Gettysburg and the sweeping, majestic wilderness of The Last of the Mohicans, to the laugh-out-loud charm of Kindergarten Cop, Billy Madison, and Twins. He gave Dragonheart its soaring soul and brought edge-of-your-seat tension to Anaconda. If you’ve ever sat in a darkened theater and felt the music reach right into your chest — chances are, Randy Edelman wrote that moment.

But Edelman’s genius doesn’t stop at the silver screen. 

Long before Hollywood came calling, he was quietly penning some of pop music’s most enduring songs. He wrote “A Weekend in New England” for Barry Manilow, the haunting “Isn’t It a Shame” for Patti LaBelle, the tender “You” for the Carpenters, and “My Place” for Nelly. These are songs that have lived in living rooms, on road trips, and in people’s hearts for generations — and they all came from the same extraordinary mind.

On July 24, Edelman performs live at the Bellmore Movies at Showplace, steps from the Long Island Rail Road, making it one of the most accessible — and unmissable — musical events of the summer.

There’s something deeply fitting about a show of this magnitude happening at a venue with this much history. The Bellmore is an institution, a place where generations of Long Islanders have shared in the magic of storytelling — and on this night, the storyteller himself will be in the room.

The evening is produced by JD Sarantakos, who has brought some of the most compelling live entertainment experiences to audiences across the region.

This is a rare and intimate opportunity to experience the music of Randy Edelman — film scores, pop classics, and everything in between — performed live by the man who wrote them. Don’t miss it.
