A Grand Night for Singing

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING – October 15 – 31, 2021

Imagination abounds in this clever spin on the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon. This 1994 Tony nominee for Best Musical features 36 songs from 11 R+H shows ranging from the lesser-known like Allegro, Pipe Dream, and Me and Juliet, to classics including South Pacific, Oklahoma!, and Cinderella. A Grand Night for Singing is definitely one enchanted evening.
