Do you feel pretty? It’s Pride Week, so you need to “Glitter and Be Gay” with the Seattle Men’s/Women’s Chorus!

June 21, 2010• by

It’s Pride Week so that means it must also be time for a concert from the fine folks at the Seattle Men’s Chorus/Seattle Women’s Chorus and this year it’s extra special because the choruses have joined forces to collaborate with the city’s season long salute to acclaimed American music composer, Leonard Bernstein for a two night concert event that cleverly swipes its title from the beloved song from Candide, Glitter and Be Gay. But, it’s not only Bernstein that the concert will pay homage to; the “undisputed master of the modern Broadway musical”, Stephen Sondheim will also be honored in the performances which means you can expect a lot of songs from the Bernstein/Sondheim collaboration, the beloved West Side Story in addition to hearing numbers from Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd and A Little Night Music, and selections from Bernstein’s Wonderful Town, On the Town and Candide. It’s their self-described “perfect ending” to Seattle Men’s and Seattle Women’s Choruses 30th season and it’s happening this Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26 at 8pm at McCaw Hall at Seattle Center. Take a break from the hubbub of Pride and get arty this weekend…get your tickets HERE.
