An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein Classics

Even if you don’t like Broadway musicals in general, it’s hard not to be won over by the songs of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who are probably the epitome of that songwriting genre. The duo was behind the oft-revived Carousel, The King and I, Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, South Pacific and other hits, and Four Seasons Theatre celebrates this great American tradition in its first performance in the Capitol Theater. Oh what a beautiful…afternoon.

media release: An unforgettable celebration of Broadway’s Golden Age, An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein Classics pays tribute to one of the most influential, innovative, and unstoppable duos of all time - Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.  Experience classic songs from some of the world's best-loved musicals including Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music, and Oklahoma!

Four Seasons Theatre makes its Capitol Theater debut as we celebrate two decades of showcasing local talent onstage and backstage.  Directed by Sarah Marty and hosted by Tamara Norden Brognano, the concert will be conducted by Thomas Kasdorf, Carrie Backman, and Steve Morgan and will feature 26 talented local singers accompanied by a 38-piece FST Orchestra.

TICKETS available through the Overture Center Box Office in person, online, or at (608) 258-4141.  (And, yes, this is a matinee performance with a strange title - The concert is licensed from Concord Theatricals so we are required to use the official title, even if our performance is in the afternoon.)

Four Seasons Theatre showcases local talent onstage and backstage in venues across Madison and produces over 20 outreach performances at libraries, senior centers, and schools each year. It all started with conversations in Fall 2004 and an initial co-production of Ragtime with Middleton Players Theatre in Summer 2005. Since then, Four Seasons Theatre has produced over 57 shows and featured the work of thousands of Madison theater artists – actors, singers, musicians, designers, directors, stage managers, and technicians – on stages across the city. And, under the leadership of  Producing Artistic Director Sarah Marty, the company has thrived, meeting the dual bottom-line of producing mission-driven work while being financial sustainable.
