William Remmers presents
"We
Are All Single Gentlemen"
Pianist: Andi Stryker-Rodda
Wlliam Remmers presented a brand-new original G&S revue. Highlighting
the men of G&S, this fast-paced, dialogue-free show will include
songs from all of the G&S operas, plus songs from several popular
operas without Gilbert such as Cox & Box, Ivanhoe, and The Contrabandista.
The program highlighted both fan favorites and exciting, rarer songs
not usually performed in full productions. The show has an all-star
cast the members of which have tremendous experience with the G&S
repertoire. "Single Gentlemen" will be a fun treat for fans
and newcomers alike!
