For 40 years, Village People have been entertaining the world with the hits "Y.M.C.A.," "Macho Man" and "In the Navy."

Eric Anzalone has been with the group for 20 years as the biker.

"It was pretty cool when I came into the group in the mid- to early 1990s; disco had a rebirth," Anzalone said during an interview with The Park Record. "Within the first year I was in the group, we did a film ['Down Periscope'] with Kelsey Grammer and Rob Schneider," he said. "It was like a baptism by fire for me."

Anzalone and his Village People compadres will mark another first, a five-night run in Park City at the Egyptian Theatre, starting Jan. 6.

"I can't think of the last time we were in Park City, so this will be something new and we're looking forward to it," he said.
