Broadway Scores: Celebrating 20 Years of Broadway Hits
Join us and the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra for an exciting night of beautiful music and fond memories, as we celebrate 20 years of Broadway musicals at the Palace Theater!
Together with a roster of Broadway performers, the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra , conducted by five-time Emmy Award-winning producer & director Andrew Carl Wilk, will perform favorite selections from shows that have graced our stage since our reopening in 2004.
In addition to favorite musical numbers from shows such as The Phantom of the Opera, Ragtime, Evita, and Dreamgirls, the show will feature the beloved classics “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” (The Wizard of Oz), “Memory” (Cats), and “Tomorrow” (Annie). Featured performers include Debbie Gravitte, Jess LeProtto, Andrea McArdle, Soara-Joye Ross, Antoine L. Smith, Allison Strong, Gene Taylor, and Donna Vivino.
Commemorating our score in years (20) with excerpts from the musical scores enjoyed over the years in our historic venue, Broadway Scores will be an evening of entertainment, inspiration, and celebration.

Most recently, Wilk served as executive producer of Live From Lincoln Center, where he created a variety of award-winning musical and theatrical productions for PBS. The evening's master of ceremonies will be Nick Wyman. It will be directed by Annette Jolles , and Gerard Chiusano will provide additional arrangements and orchestrations.
