This classic comedy takes us back to the delightful madness of the Sycamore family.

A story as timeless as it is entertaining.

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING runs Jan. 5-15

A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING
Presented by Dayton Playhouse
Jan. 5-15
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING is an evening of music and romance. The musical review explores the broad spectrum of romantic relationships by way of more than thirty Rodgers & Hammerstein songs. Each of the teams musicals is represented. The songs have all been placed in fresh theatrical settings, strung together so that the review “grows up” emotionally. The show is constructed as an emotional journey beginning with young infatuation and the awakening of real love, through the touching and funny complexities of commitment and marriage, the joys of parenthood, and finally, the power of enduring love. As a result, the review has a cumulative impact.

Directed & choreographed by Richard Croskey
Music directed by Ron Kindell

Cast:  Matthew Bone, Carol Chatfield, Kathy Clark, Patricia DiPasquale Krul & Tom Lehmann
