Dubbed "the Victor Borge of Rock and Roll" who was "born inside a piano," McDonald, an award-winning actor and composer, has brought his passion for music, comedy, and drama to stages all over the United States and Canada. He developed his new concert, Great Balls of Fire, as a showcase for the hits of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Willie Nelson, Ray Price, The Rolling Stones, and more, as well as his original material. This thrilling new show explodes off the stage with McDonald’s signature energy, and a band of special guest dynamite musicians. 

Great Balls of Fire has been receiving rave reviews all across the nation: 

 "This guy (McDonald) is the real deal. Not only does he have serious rock and roll chops, but he has the rare ability to invite the audience to join in, sing along, dance in the aisles and just plain whoop it up as if we are all old friends out together for a night on the town" 

-Jonathan Charles Fox, The River Reporter

"Should you get the opportunity to see Great Balls of Fire (or anything else McDonald does, for that matter), run, do not walk, to get your tickets."

- Lori Schneider, Aisle Seat
