Don’t quote us but we’re pretty sure that William Shatner is the oldest person on tour in 2023.
At 91 years young, the former “Star Trek” and “Boston Legal” star barely edges out Willie Nelson (89) and Frankie Valli (88) — both of whom are on the road this year — when he takes his show on the road from January through March as part of his upcoming “Beam Me Up Tour.”
Each show is set to begin with a screening of Shatner’s classic film “Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan” and will be followed by a conversation with Captain Kirk himself where he shares behind the scenes stories from his legendary career and answers questions from the audience.
And let’s be honest — we all want to know what his experience in space in 2021 was really like.
OK, let’s go back to Earth for a second.
While Shatner isn’t set to step foot in NYC on the 11-show run, he will come close with his two New Jersey gigs at Red Bank’s Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre on Feb. 10 and Englewood’s Bergen Performing Arts Center on Feb. 11.
Tickets aren’t too pricey either — in fact, some shows have seats going for as low as $20 before fees on Vivid Seats.
That’s more than a fair price to see the man who did the most original version of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” live.
So, if you want to see Shatner live in the next few months, here’s everything you need to know to get “Beamed Up.”
