“Everyone loves Broadway,” said choir director and MCC part-time Instructor Valerie Vander Mark. “This concert will cover an astounding amount of Broadway tunes, all in the space of an hour or so.

“The younger generation can discover  the beautiful tunes that older generations have enjoyed over the years, written by iconic early Broadway composers such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Lowe,” she said. “We’ll also perform several songs from more recent Broadway shows like Rent, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. There will be something for everyone; old favorites and new tunes to learn and enjoy.”

The choir will sing a medley of Broadway favorites including “Give My Regards to Broadway,” from Little Johnny Jones; “Another Op’ning, Another Show,” from Kiss Me Kate; “Oklahoma,”from Oklahoma; “There is Nothing Life a Dame,” from South Pacific; “Dreamgirls,” from Dreamgirls; “Cabaret,” from Cabaret; “Hello, Dolly,” from Hello Dolly; “What I Did for Love,” from A Chorus Line; “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” from Gypsy; “Tomorrow,” from Annie; “What is This Feeling?” from Wicked, and many more. In addition, the group will perform a medley of Irving Berlin songs, a medley from Jersey Boys and the medley “Broadway Legends: Lerner and Loewe.”

The orchestra, directed by Howard Wilson, will perform “The Phantom of the Opera Medley,” “Paint Your Wagon,” and “Richard Rodgers: A Symphonic Portrait for Concert Band.”
