The winter musical is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s A Grand Night for Singing. With a cast of three women and two men, this musical revue explores the broad spectrum of romantic relationships by way of more than thirty Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, both classics and lesser-known songs. The show is constructed as an emotional journey beginning with young infatuation and the awakening of real love, through the touching and funny complexities of commitment and marriage, the joys of parenthood, and finally, the power of enduring love. Although the show includes songs from all of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musicals, the revue alters their context and their musical styles. Imagine “Honey Bun” done with the singers “singing” the musical interlude as the trombone, trumpet and banjo. Or “Wash that Man Right out of My Hair” as done by a female trio a la The Andrews Sisters. Or “Shall We Dance” performed as a comedic endeavor by two mismatched dancers. With songs from Oklahoma, Carousel, State Fair, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music, among others, this offers an enjoyable evening of music and laughter. Performances are February 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28, March 1, 5, 6 and 7, 2009. Tickets are $12 for Adults and $10 for Seniors and Children Under 12.
