What happens when you fuse Burt Bacharach’s sophisticated melodies with Todd Rundgren’s layered, creative edges? You get something unexpected yet profoundly new and exciting. Tonight’s show, directed by Rob Shirakbari, brought these two distinct worlds together in a way that delighted and surprised.

With his signature style, Todd began singing “What The Earth Nee
