Dion helped invent rock 'n' roll in the 1950s and has kept recording with legends ever since, a rare artist whose songs about youth, love and possibility still land across generations. Seeing him in the ornate St. George Theatre adds old-movie-palace glamour to the night. If you have never taken the free ferry for a show, this is a classic New York excuse.
