The Port Washington Play Troupe, the oldest community theater group in New York State, is pleased to invite you to Something Wonderful: An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein, on Saturday, July 29.
This free night of music under the stars begins at 7:30 pm at the John Philip Sousa Memorial Bandshell in Sunset Park by Port Washington’s town dock.
The show will include solos, duets, and ensembles performing the music of famed musical theater collaborators Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, who brought us unforgettable shows such as South Pacific, Oklahoma!, Carousel, The King and I, and The Sound of Music.
“Eighty years after the premiere of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration,Oklahoma!, their music continues to entertain, inspire and thrill us.The music and lyrics tap into universal experiences of love, of hope, of loss and redemption,” said Pamela Seiderman, director of Something Wonderful and vice president of the Port Washington Play Troupe. “It has been a joy to work on some of their most iconic songs, as well as some lesser-known tunes, with this talented group of singers. We hope people of all ages will join us for what is sure to be a ‘Grand Night of Singing’.”
