"We are thrilled to share this lively musical experience with the
community," expressed Signature Artistic Director Eric Schaeffer.
"Signature has received so much encouragement from the community over the
years, and this is our way of giving back." The Broadway- inspired concert
is directed by Rick DesRochers, Signature's new Associate Artistic Director,
and showcases an array of musical theatre favorites - classics, hits from
newer shows, and of course, Sondheim favorites. The cast includes
celebrated Signature performers Bob McDonald (Putting it Together), Evan
Casey
(Allegro, Ten Unknowns), Lauren Williams (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to the Forum, Allegro), Clifton Duncan (One Red Flower), Lynn Neal (Mack and
Mabel), and Florrie Bagel (2004 Overtures Graduate, Signature's Musical
Theatre Institute). The hour-long concert includes unforgettable songs from
My Fair Lady, Rent, Chicago, South Pacific, Into the Woods, Wicked, Sweeney
Todd, and many others. All members of the community are welcome and
encouraged to enjoy the outdoor performance.
