January 14, 2006  Grand Night for Singing - This Musical Revue in 2 acts with music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II first opened the Broadway season in 1994 with tremendous response. Over three decades after Rogers & Hammerstein collaborated on the The Sound Of Music, A Grand Night for Singing gained wildly enthusiastic reviews. Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Shall We Dance?" performed as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer throws a hilarious spin on the original stage presentation of this and other songs from two of the most prolific songwriters on the American musical scene. The song list includes many best-selling Broadway hits such as Some Enchanted Evening, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, I Cain't Say No, Surrey With The Fringe On Top, It Might As Well Be Spring, Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin', If I Loved You and many more.
