Broadway Artists Return To Whitefish Performing Arts Center For August Concert Series

For 20 years Alpine Theatre Project has brought artists direct from Broadway to Whitefish to perform and teach.

This mission continues with 10 more Broadway stars performing in a concert series of Broadway showstoppers August 1-4 at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center. The concerts, entitled “Harmony,” will feature Broadway's greatest hits performed by some of Broadway's greatest artists from such shows as “Rent,” “The Lion King,” “Chicago,” “The Color Purple,” “Newsies,” and more.

These Broadway veterans will be joined by the 60 students they've been mentoring as part of ATP's Broadway Summer Camp to present two different concerts: a “Broadway Stars” concert August 1-2 focused on the star faculty and a “Broadway Students” concert August 3-4 focused on the Camp students. ATP's Broadway Summer Camp gives local students the opportunity to learn from - and perform with - accomplished Broadway performers.

“These artists have 30 Broadway credits among them under their belts,” says ATP Artistic Director, Betsi Morrison. “They are some of the most accomplished performers in the musical theatre world. We will have 2 nights of some of the finest musical theatre performances you'll ever see in this area followed by 2 nights of inspiring performances by students so good, you'll swear they're professionals.”

Morrison has assembled a team of 10 professional artists, all with Broadway experience. This includes:

Robert Creighton - Star of 8 productions on Broadway, including “Frozen,” “The Lion King,” “Anything Goes,” “Chicago,” “The Little Mermaid,” and more
