With GENERAL HOSPITAL taking a short break in production, Maurice Benard (Sonny) is hitting the road for what he’s calling his “You Are Stronger Than You Know Tour.” “You guys gotta come check it out because we truly do have a great time,” the actor declared on Instagram. “it’s wild. Get your tickets now. I even sing and dance a little bit!” 

Truthfully, fans shouldn’t expect a whole musical performance from the Emmy winner, but they can expect over an hour of Benard sharing stories from his decades on GH, his State of Mind podcast, as well as his real life and career all in an intimate setting. Those in attendance can also ask questions of the daytime star and there is merchandise for sale like photos you can then get autographed!

Benard kicked off the tour with a visit to Governor’s Comedy Club in Levittown, NY, on April 22 and stopped in Bridgeport, CT, on April 23. The tour continues throughout this week, with stops in West Nyack, NY, on Wednesday, April 24, Pittsburgh, PA, on Thursday, April 25, Detroit, MI, on Saturday, April 27, and wrapping up on Sunday, April 28, in Batavia, IL. For more details on each event and to purchase tickets, you can visit the Coastal Entertainment Website. (There are also many other events with different soap stars to check out, too!)

You can see what kind of fun was had at his first tour stop by checking out the photos in the gallery below!
