A Grand Night for Singing

Songs from much-loved Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals are reimagined under music director Wayne Marshall in a new staging by Kim Criswell.

All the glitz, glamour and unforgettable songs of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals but like you’ve never heard them before. This dazzling staged musical revue weaves a moving new storyline through iconic songs from Carousel, Oklahoma!, The King and I, South Pacific and The Sound of Music, with performances from some of today’s top names in musical theatre.

Conceived and created by Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Walter Bobbie, A Grand Night for Singing took Broadway by storm at its opening in 1993. This new staging is conceived by Kim Criswell, one of today’s pre-eminent musical theatre singer/actors. She stars in the production, one of a handpicked cast of brilliant musical theatre performers that also includes lyric soprano Danielle de Niese.
