Alpine Theatre Project's Broadway Concert Series Runs This Month at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center

They've starred in some of the most well-known Broadway productions in history, including "Les Miserables," "Wicked," "The Lion King," "Chicago," and for one week they'll perform some of their greatest show stopping hits on the Whitefish stage. Alpine Theatre Project's Broadway Concert Series runs July 26 - 30 at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center.

These Broadway stars will perform in a series of concerts packed with Broadway showstoppers from shows like "Cats," "Wicked," "Hairspray," "Moulin Rouge," "Chicago," and more. Among the Broadway actors performing is Donna Vivino, who has been on and off Broadway since she starred in the original Broadway cast of "Les Miserables" at age 6. She went on to star in one of Broadway's most coveted roles, Elphaba, in the hit musical, "Wicked." Joining her is 8-time Broadway veteran, Robert Creighton, who has starred in such massive hits as "Chicago," "The Lion King," and "Anything Goes." Also joining them is Terita Redd, who starred in the Broadway productions of "Rent," "Hairspray," and "Caroline, or Change." They will be joined by 7 other Broadway artists and a band of 7 musicians.

"These artists have 36 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're thrilled to share their incredible talent with the community and their professional experience with these 60 students."

The students to which Morrison is referring are the 60 members of ATP's Broadway Summer Training Camp, where seasoned "Broadway Veterans" mentor "Broadway Hopefuls" in musical theatre performance. The intensive training Camp culminates in two different concerts for the public: the "Broadway Veterans" concert starring the 10 Broadway actors performing their greatest hits, and the "Broadway Hopefuls" concert featuring the 60 Camp students performing alongside their professional Broadway mentors.
