‘Grand Night for Singing’ slated

Take part in a joyous night of music, when “A Grand Night for Singing” takes the Playhouse Mainstage March 29 in Crossville. This work takes a look at various stages of love, in a cabaret-style review of Rogers and Hammerstein’s wonderful music.

In 1994, this musical opened the Broadway season, evoking superb reviews. Over 30 years had elapsed since R&H’s final collaboration, “The Sound of Music,” had taken the world by storm. It was obvious that their high spirited musicals had not lost their appeal to theater-goers. This rebirth of their musical presence seemed to be just what the theater community was waiting for.

“A Grand Night for Singing” allows us to embrace such R&H classics as: “The Carousel Waltz,” “It’s a Grand Night for Singing,” “The Surrey With the Fringe on Top,” “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” and “Something Wonderful.” This show give everyone an opportunity to hear the songs they love, and some they may never have known existed. All are golden Rogers and Hammerstein works.

“A Grand Night for Singing” opens March 29, and runs through June 8. For reservations, or more information on this or upcoming shows, please contact the Cumberland County Playhouse box office at 931-484-5000. For more information on the Playhouse, visit us on the web at www.ccplayhouse.com.
