Broadway Hits in Classical Style
Posted by Matt Basheda / Friday, January 20th, 2012
We’ve been covering a lot of rock concerts lately, but what about the classical side of things?

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten that NoVA has a world-class symphony in the Symphony Orchestra of Arlington. And the SOA returns to the stage this evening with a full complement of famous Broadway songs, all done-up in classical style.
The pieces will not be instrumentals, though. Four fantastic soloists will join the symphony to fully flesh out these timeless songs.
The set-list includes standards from “Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables” and “Wicked.” And it wouldn’t be Broadway without a bit of Rodgers and Hammerstein.
The show is at the Spectrum Theatre in Arlington. Tickets are $10-20. Can’t beat that for a sophisticated Friday night out.
The theatre itself can be found at 1611 N. Kent St., Arlington.
