ArtsBuffalo: Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “A Grand Night For Singing”

This revue celebrates the iconic duo of Rodgers & Hammerstein, the writers and producers synonymous with the Golden Age of Broadway Musicals. Their hit shows include Carousel, Oklahoma!, The King and I, Cinderella, and The Sound of Music. This inventive revue brings innovative musical arrangements of some of their most beloved songs, including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” a swingin’ “Honeybun” worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy “Kansas City,” proving how terrifically up-to-date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.

Directed by Kevin Leary, the production stars Anthony Alcocer, Sydney Conrad, Heather Holden, Aaron Gabriel Saldana, and Brittney Morton, with Patrick Towey as Music Director and Em English as Stage Manager.
