Bridgetown Conservatory Presents Rodgers And Hammerstein's A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING

 Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre will present Rodgers and Hammerstein's "A Grand Night for Singing" in February as the first production of their 2024 roster of small musicals. The original Broadway production of "A Grand Night for Singing" was nominated for the 1994 Tony award for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, as well as the 1994 Drama Desk award for Outstanding Revue.

Conceived by Walter Bobbie, with arrangements by Fred Wells, the musical revue features some of the best-loved Broadway compositions of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

Rick Lewis, Artistic Director and Founder of Bridgetown Conservatory said: "A Grand Night for Singing" is the perfect way to launch Bridgetown's 2024 small musical series. A wonderful array of well-known R&H songs, peppered with some "not-so-well" known songs; and some presented in new and innovative ways, this show, performed by a talented cast of five - four adult professionals and one Bridgetown student - is a great way to honor the classic music of Broadway."

Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre prides itself in being the premier training ground for young performers with an eye on a professional musical theatre career. Bridgetown offers "triple-threat" training (Acting, Dance and Vocal Performance) for young professional ages 12-19, preparing for college entrance into top-tier musical theatre programs and professional careers in musical Theatre. Bridgetown Conservatory's musical theatre triple-threat program is taught by former Broadway and NYC professionals, providing experienced and thoughtful insight into the training of young performers.
