Some Enchanted Evening

About two weeks ago, Lil' Sis found out that our city was hosting the local symphony orchestra for three evening concerts--held downtown. The concerts were free, so all one had to do was show up. The billing was as follows:

July 27th--"Night at the Cinema"
July 28th--"Curtain Up: This is Broadway"
July 29th--"Star Spangled Spectacular"

We missed the first two nights, but Sis and I decided to go and enjoy the final spectacular. After all, what could be more enjoyable than sis time and live music? I don't remember when it was we realized our mistake--was it when the first song was announced?, or when we passed that billboard?--but as it turns out, we had mis-counted the days. We were a day early! What we thought would be a rousing evening of Cohen and Sousa, turned out to be an evening of Broadway magic. What a delightful surprise!

What we also didn't expect were the vocalists. Yes my friend, this was a full-blown concert in the middle of downtown. Sis and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening--even though we didn't know some of the songs.

The concert included a selection of songs from some classics, as well as some newbies: South Pacific; Annie Get Your Gun; Grease; Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; Chorus Line; The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd; Jesus Christ Superstar; Music Man; Les Miserables; and Wicked.

Below, for your viewing pleasure, is the opportunity to experience a taste of our enchanted evening.
