Broadway Magic Delights Crowd
A slice of Broadway found its way into Abravanel Hall Friday
evening. The Utah Symphony performed a program of favorite show
tunes from the past century.
However, this wasn’t just a rundown of popular melodies.
There was more to it than that. The program’s creator, Matthew Inge,
wove a story line in and out of these songs, tying them together and
fusing them into a cohesive whole – and in the process creating
an evening of music that was original, innovative and just plain
magical.

Broadway Concert is a Lesson In Love
The Broadway Concert is
just the right thing to get anyone feeling romantic. From the
opening numbers, Tonight and I Could Have Danced All Night to near
the end with People Will Say We’re In Love … well, we’re in love.
For a Concert strung together
from 40-some Broadway tunes, and composers ranging from Cole Porter
to Andrew Lloyd Webber, the show holds together because of great
rhythm and pacing.

Singers Enthralling
with Albany Symphony Orchestra
Singing in a show and performing show music on a concert
stage are two different things, and not all singers are equally
adept at both. These singers are. They were completely at ease
with each other in this concert setting and this is not a “stand and
sing” kind of performance.
The show was a nice mix of solos
and duets, and the singers worked nicely together in every one,
sometimes teasing, sometimes acting coy and sometimes goin
dreamy-eyed. Bill

The love medley of You’re The Top,
My Romance, You Made Me Love You and Anything You Can Do
was outstanding.
