Adelphi University’s talented students return with the always-popular Best of Broadway series.
“We Tell the Story: Songs of Love, Life, Pain and Hope” will be performed on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 25 at 4 p.m. on the Westermann Stage, Concert Hall in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center located at 1 South Ave. in Garden City.
This installment of the Best of Broadway series, featuring songs from the iconic musicals “Ragtime,” “Anastasia” and “Once on This Island,” celebrates the music and lyrics of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
The show is conceived by Director Duane McDevitt, who is best known for his storytelling on stages both musical and operatic. McDevitt says, “The best musical theatre moments are created by great storytelling, and the actors are the human vessels charged with telling the stories. This is our quest this semester. You are in for a treat!”
Adding musical flavor to the show is Music Director Patrick Burns. Both McDevitt and Burns are making their Adelphi debut with this show.
