Will "SOMETHING WONDERFUL" sell out at Symphony Center?
It certainly should!
If the reaction of the sold-out crowd at Elgin's Blizzard Theater—where we performed the concert a couple of weeks ago—is any indication, the Chicago audience for
SOMETHING WONDERFUL on Sunday, April 26th at Orchestra Hall, is going to have a terrific time!
The huge Elgin audience for the CBASO & Chorus's celebration of the music of Rodgers &
Hammerstein (in partnership with the Elgin Master Chorale) was tumultuous from the first note of the "Carousel Waltz" to the last chord of the "Oklahoma" encore an hour and a half later: they stood, and cheered, and sung along, and even did the hand gestures in "Do, Re, Mi!"
