Bruno Mars: Ready For Primetime
CBS and Atlantic Records have partnered with multi-talented Grammy® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, director and two-time Super Bowl Halftime performer Bruno Mars to premiere his first primetime television special, Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live At The Apollo, scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 10pm ET/PT on CBS.
The special has been taping at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theater, where Mars (pictured) kicks off the primetime show with an epic performance atop the Apollo’s landmark marquee. Mars and his band the Hooligans also take to the streets, visiting, singing and entertaining locals in exciting, intimate, must-see moments. The special, which will continue to tape in the coming weeks, features exhilarating, never-before-seen stage performances throughout the broadcast.
“For me, Bruno Mars is the greatest performer in the world,” said Ben Winston, who, alongside Mars, serves as Executive Producer. “To be producing his first television special is a true honor. This will be a special show and a special night.”
Jack Sussman, EVP, Specials, Music and Live Events at CBS Entertainment remarked, “Bruno Mars is the ultimate live performer of this generation. He is the very definition of event television. He burns the roof off the Apollo while paying respect to its tradition and history. We at CBS are proud to be broadcasting his first TV special.”
