Act II Playhouse rounds out its 2024-2025 Season with its latest production, “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s A Grand Night for Singing”.
The production features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, musical arrangement by Fred Wells, and orchestrations by Michael Gibson & Jonathan Tunick. The production was conceived by Walter Bobbie.
A comic and loving tribute to the Golden Age of Broadway, “A Grand Night for Singing” showcases some of the most beloved songs from the legendary collaboration of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Audiences will be laughing and singing along all night long as the revue offers fresh, witty takes on some of the duo’s most beloved musicals including Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The Sound of Music, and many more.
The musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein resonate as much with audiences today as they did when they first appeared 80 years ago. Their words and their songs are truly timeless. ‘A Grand Night for Singing’ is the perfect tribute to their extensive body of work. It is constantly surprising in its humor while at the same time reverent to the legendary duo. I am sure that it will have audiences singing along night after night. – Act II Playhouse Artistic Director Tony Braithwaite
A distinguished cast is assembled to give voice to this time-honored collection of songs. Zachary Chiero, Eleni Delopolous, Renee McFillin and Kevin Toniazzo-Naughton all return to the Playhouse. The cast is rounded out by Jackie Washam, making her Playhouse debut.
