Debbie Reynolds Joins Seattle Women's Chorus

Two, three, and five show subscription packages to both Seattle Men's Chorus and Seattle Women's Chorus will go on sale to the public on Monday, April 28, 2008. Supporters enjoy many benefits, and season subscribers are expected to pounce on the opportunity to lock in extra tickets early to the highly anticipated Men's Chorus Spring 2009 Concert. As Seattle Men's Chorus takes one step closer to their big anniversary season, Flying House Productions is thrilled to announce that America's Sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds, will headline the Seattle Men's Chorus's 29th Season Spring Concert in March 2009. Who better to usher in the Men's Chorus's 30th year of singing (in the rain) than the "unsinkable" Ms. Reynolds.
 
And with five solid seasons under their belt, Seattle Women's Chorus has hit their stride; subscriber and single ticket sales numbers have grown steadily each year for the women with plans for some knock out guest artists. More special guest artists and additional local/regional concerts will be announced in the coming months. All performances are under the artistic direction of Dennis Coleman.
