Sat Feb 14 Best Of Broadway - BCPA

This Valentine’s Day… Whether you’re a fan of Broadway, classical, or even rock, this program of Andrew Lloyd Webber showstoppers and more has something for everyone. Terry Barber and Shelley Keelor breathe new life into hits from many of Broadway's most beloved shows, reacquainting you with characters from CATS, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Aspects of Love, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Miserables, Chicago, Hamilton, The Phantom of the Opera, and more! Literally "setting the stage" for this production is a replica backdrop of the Paris Opera House (Palais Garnier) where the real Phantom of the Opera haunted over 100 years ago causing a chandelier to crash into the audience killing a woman and injuring several others. We will not be recreating that piece of history for you! Don't miss this epic performance or you may be haunted by your disappointment! "Barber has star quality!" - Atlanta Journal - Constitution BIO International countertenor, Terry Barber, a former member of the multiple Grammy Award winning group “Chanticleer” is an 8 x Grammy nominee for his most recent solo own album, “Reimagined: Mercury”. Barber has sung in 17 languages to date and been a soloist for the top venues around the world from the Metropolitan Opera, to Carnegie Hall, London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall to name just a few. Co-star of the show, Shelly Keelor is a Silver Palm and Carbonell award-winning actor, singer and international soloist. She’s starred in leading roles at theaters across the country as Snow White / Disenchanted, Trish / Kinky Boots, Beggar Women / Sweeny Todd, and many more. Also joining the cast is a world-class chamber orchestra including Grace Betry (piano), Noah Hertzman (cello), Timothy Nicholas (violin), and Rick Kissinger (Flute, Clarinet, and Saxophone).
