There is probably a very small number of people on this board who will be able to attend this--but Sandi Patty is giving a series of concerts with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra March 9-11, in which the entire repertoire will be Broadway songs. The event is called "Sandi Patty on Broadway," and here is the link for more information:
Sandi Patty has truly one of the finest voices in all of recorded history, so don't miss this if you get a chance. Although I will not be able to attend, I did catch a few of her Big Band concerts about 6 years ago in which she sang a couple of Broadway songs. Her "Can't Help Lovin' that Man" is the greatest rendition I have ever heard live. Other remarkable Broadway arrangements she performed were "Till There Was You," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and "Beauty and the Beast."

Went to see this concert, and she was brilliant. I only hope this show travels to other symphonies and pops so it can be experienced by many more. Some of the highlights were: "Before the Parade passes by"(her belt is to die for), "Send in the clowns"(by far the diamond of the show, stunning and the best version I have ever heard), "Doll sings the guys medley" including "Cabaret", "If I were a rich man", and my favorite "Bring him Home"(flawless), and "You'll never walk alone" I hope you get to see it soon. Here's the complete list: "The Sound of Music" Applause Medley Sandi with an I The Music Man Medley "All I ask of you" "Before the parade passes by" "Hello Dolly" Theres no business like show business/That's entertainment "Adelaide's Lament" "Send in the clowns" "This nearly was mine" A doll sings the guys medley "Never Never Land" "You'll Never walk alone" Encore: "People"
RTH--Thanks so much for the review. The song list looks absolutely incredible! I wish I could have been there. Glad to hear her belt is in top form.
FakeMyWay--Sandi will be very close to New York City on May 11. She will be in Lodi, NJ which is about 20 miles away. However, this will be a VERY Christian concert (not that there is anything wrong with that of course--but don't go in expecting Broadway or Big Band). Here is the website for purchasing of tickets:
