It'll be A Grand Night for Singing for some Chelmsford residents

This Spring, Voices of Hope (VOH) resumes their tradition of live performance in grand style at North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly! The local volunteer organization dedicated to raising funds for cancer research through theatrical performance, will present A Grand Night for Singing! a Delightful musical revue of traditional classics and reimagined arrangements featuring the work of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved creations interspersed with some lesser known gems. The production incorporates a spectacular array of the fabulously talented VOH members, featuring soaring vocals, gorgeously choreographed dance, and an on-stage band.

With innovative musical arrangements, audiences will experience these updated classics through artful arrangements and clever interpretations ranging from a sultry Andrew Sisters-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair”, to a swinging “Honeybun” worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy Manhattan Transfer style “Kansas City.” You’ll be carried away by the terrifically refreshing and unique interpretations of familiar Rodgers & Hammerstein scores such as: Carousel, Oklahoma!, The King and I, South Pacific, Cinderella, The Sound of Music and many more. A Grand Night for Singing! promises to deliver “Something Wonderful” for everyone!

VOH Executive Artistic Director Dana Siegal’s shares, "Like so many other artists during this pandemic, we have been holding onto hope that we would be able to once again return to live performance.” She goes on to say, “VOH has clearly shown our resilience and are SO excited to retake the stage and continue our mission to make cancer history one song at a time!”
