Move over,

Broadway, and make way in LaGrange for the upcoming

musical revue "A Grand Night For Singing,"

produced by The Opera and Musical Theater of West Georgia

(TOMTOWG).

Straight

from rave reviews in New York, "A Grand Night For

Singing" is an evening of music and romance

featuring more than 30 Rodgers and Hammerstein songs,

both classics and lesser known discoveries. Rodgers and

Hammerstein were the duo behind such classic works as

"Camelot" and "The Sound of Music."

Their family-friendly productions remain fan favorites

and Broadway mainstays.

The

production of "A Grand Night For Singing" will

feature songs from such classics as "Oklahoma,"

"Carousel," "State Fair," "South

Pacific," "The King and I,"

"Cinderella," "Flower Drum Song" and

"The Sound of Music."

"With

the tremendous success of `Amahl and the Night Visitors'

last December, we wanted to offer the community another

production with broad appeal and I am convinced this is

it," stated Anne Duraski, Artistic Director of

TOMTOWG.

This

production is for the entire family. With such a variety

of songs such as "If I Loved You" from

"Carousel," "Some Enchanted Evening"

from "South Pacific," "Oh, What a

Beautiful Mornin'" from "Oklahoma" and

"Maria" from "The Sound of Music," it

will be two hours of complete entertainment, Duraski

continued.

Greg

Thompson, resident director of the Savoyards Music

Theatre Co. in Atlanta, will direct and choreograph the

production. A veteran of more than 200 productions,

Thompson has had extensive experience and has performed

on stage with such notables as Sophia Loren, Chita

Rivera, Melanie Griffith, Patricia Neal and Robert

Goulet.

"A

Grand Night for Singing" will be held Friday and

Saturday nights, June 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 8:00 p.m. in

Price Theater, LaGrange College. Tickets are $15 each and

can purchased at the Lafayette Society for Performing

Arts (LSPA) ticket office, 210 Bull St. Additional
