Broadway Scores: Celebrating 20 Years of Broadway Hits

 Join us 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 (including Andrea McArdle, Broadway's original "Annie!"), 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.

​

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.

​

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.

​

Andrew Carl Wilk is the Conductor & Executive Producer of this evening’s performance. 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. It will be directed by Annette Jolles, and Gerard Chiusano will provide additional arrangements and orchestrations.

​

A portion of proceeds from this event will benefit the Palace Theater and WSO Education programs.
