“We're excited to celebrate all things Broadway,” said Seattle Women's Chorus Artistic Director Paul Caldwell. “We have rare choral performances of songs from Hamilton and Something Rotten in store for audiences, along with many well-known classics.”
Guest artist Billie Wildrick solos in three songs and plays the role of Broadway musical radio show host, queuing up popular Broadway songs and providing historical and cultural commentary on the show from her radio booth on stage. Wildrick has been seen on stages across the country and is known locally for her work in Cabaret at Village Theatre, Sunday in the Park, Guys and Dolls and Wonderful Town at 5th Avenue Theatre, and more.

“Broadway music is exciting, inspiring and identifiable,” said Interim Executive Director Craig Coogan. “We are excited and proud to sing songs from the canon of Broadway through the unique perspective of the Seattle Women's Chorus. If you love great musical storytelling, you're going to love this show.”
This is a concert that will keep toes tapping and hands clapping, with an 11 o'clock number that is sure to have the audience on their feet.
