Showstoppers

A highlight of 2023 was our Golden Age of Broadway concert with the Symphony Chorus – an irresistible evening of toe-tapping tunes and sheer entertainment that sent us all home with smiles to ‘make the world worthwhile’. We simply had to do it again, so we’re back in 2024 with a celebration of Rodgers and Hammerstein showstoppers.

And we’ve got this beautiful feelin’ that Brett Weymark is planning something wonderful with rousing choruses and fabulous musical moments from R&H musicals that have stood the test of time to become classics – plus some rare treats from the ‘backstage comedy’ Me and Juliet and the 1945 film State Fair. And we know he’ll be spoilt for choice with all the memorable melodies, witty lyrics and touching themes that emerged from this legendary musical theatre partnership.

You’ll be singing along and cheering for encores.

Saturday 16 November at 7pm
Sunday 17 November at 2pm
Sydney Town Hall

This performance will run for 1 hour and 50 minutes, including one 20-minute interval.
