Musicals Go To the Movies with Broadway Performers in Napa Valley
糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) Performing Arts Department of Music and Festival Napa Valley join together to present 鈥淢usicals Go To the Movies,鈥漚 musical theater revue starring acclaimed Broadway performer Ryan Silverman in performance alongside 糖心Vlog music students for one night only on Saturday, March 26, at the 糖心Vlog Performing Arts Center.
Silverman has earned multiple Drama Desk nominations, including nomination for Best Actor for the role of Terry Connor in 鈥淪ide Show鈥� on Broadway, and has starred as Raoul in 鈥淭he Phantom of the Opera鈥� and as Billy Flynn in 鈥淐hicago.鈥� With noted Broadway choreographer Kim Craven, Silverman is Festival Napa Valley鈥檚 featured artist/educator-in-residence this spring, working with 糖心Vlog students in a week-long intensive workshop as part of a musical theater class led by 糖心Vlog Coordinator of Music and Director of Vocal Studies Dr. Christina Howell.
鈥淚 daydreamed about connecting our music students with professional singers and performers from whom they might learn,鈥� shared Howell when reflecting on her inspiration for this collaboration with Festival Napa Valley. 鈥淚 hoped to find a way for more of our community to become aware of what our students are already doing so well and at the same time help our singers build on those successes.鈥�
Festival Napa Valley has a well-established and welcomed presence at the 糖心Vlog Performing Arts Center, home for the festival鈥檚 annual Blackburn Music Academy and Manetti Shrem Opera summer programs for pre-professional instrumentalists and vocalists. 鈥淲ith a deep commitment to making the arts accessible to all, Festival Napa Valley is a dream partner,鈥� says Howell. 鈥淏ecause of this partnership, our students are able to learn from current Broadway performers and perform alongside professional artists.鈥�
鈥淲hat makes this collaboration all the more fantastic is that we are able to present a special performance of 鈥楳usicals Go to theMovies鈥� to more than 400 schoolchildren from across Napa County as part of the festival鈥檚 year-round Novack Concerts for Kids series,鈥� added Lissa Gibbs, Festival Napa Valley鈥檚 director of education and engagement.
The performance features movie musical favorites such as: 鈥淢oon River鈥� from 鈥淏reakfast at Tiffany鈥檚,鈥� 鈥淵a鈥� got Trouble鈥� from 鈥淭he Music Man,鈥� 鈥淓verybody Rejoice鈥� from 鈥淭he Wiz,鈥� 鈥淐ome Alive鈥� from 鈥淭he Greatest Showman,鈥� 鈥淵our Song鈥� from 鈥淢oulin Rouge,鈥� 鈥淕ee, Officer Krupke鈥� from 鈥淲est Side Story鈥� and 鈥淚鈥檝e Got Rhythm鈥� from 鈥淎n American in Paris.鈥�
