⭐ TO MAURY, WITH LOVE – MAURY YESTON CONCERT – CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐
A special concert, celebrating composer Maury Yeston, TO MAURY, WITH LOVE has been announced.
To celebrate multi-Tony Award winning composer Maury Yeston’s 80th birthday, producer Danielle Tarento presents a concert of his most well know and loved music, directed by Thom Southerland.
Tarento and Southerland have collaborated previously on several of Yeston’s shows in the UK, including the London premieres of Titanic the Musical and Death Takes a Holiday and a critically acclaimed revival of Grand Hotel. These musicals will be represented in the concert, along with music from Nine, Phantom and many others, including never-before heard songs and an overture written especially for the occasion.
Heading the cast will be West End and Broadway star Ramin Karimloo. No stranger to Yeston’s work, Karimloo played Barrett in the recent Encore’s production of Titanic the Musical at New York City Center and Guido Contini in Nine in Concert for Hope Mill Theatre at The Lowry.
Joining him will be Sydnie Christmas. Sydnie captured the nation’s heart as the first female vocalist to win Britain’s Got Talent. Her Golden Buzzer audition of Tomorrow from Annie amassed over 50 million views worldwide. She went on to win the competition with spellbinding performances of My Way and Over the Rainbow.
Also appearing are West End stars Madalena Alberto, Graham Bickley, Rob Houchen and Kelly Mathieson.
The concert will feature the 30-piece London Musical Theatre Orchestra, and a 30 strong choir of graduating Musical Theatre students from the Royal Academy of Music, under the baton of Mark Aspinall.
Tarento said: “My working relationship and friendship with Maury is one of the great joys of my life. His musicals resonate so deeply with me and have framed so much of the past 15 years of my career. To be able to celebrate his 80th birthday in such a significant way is a privilege and an honour.”
The concert is raising funds for Bowel Cancer UK with all profits going towards supporting the work of this vitally important charity.
Danielle Tarento presents TO MAURY, WITH LOVE, directed by Thom Southerland, orchestrated & conducted by Mark Aspinall, lighting design by Howard Hudson and sound design by Andrew Johnson.
