SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – Cue the overture and warm up those imaginary jazz hands – the Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band is bringing the bright lights of Broadway to town with not one, but two toe-tapping, show-stopping performances of “'Showstoppers!  A Musical Spectacular.” And the best part? No tickets, no tuxedos, no travel to New York required.

Join the band at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 3 at Koreana Plaza, and again at 3 p.m. Saturday, May 16 at the Cordova Performing Arts Center. Both concerts promise an afternoon packed with melodies you know, love, and might accidentally sing out loud (we won’t judge).

This musical romp through Broadway will feature hits from crowd favorites like “Phantom of the Opera,” “Hamilton,” “Chicago,” “The Lion King,” “Wicked,” “Little Shop of Horrors” and more. Vocalist Michelle Pavolva and announcer/narrator Larry Womac will join the band for both performances. The May 16 performance will also feature vocalists from Golden State Performing Arts and dancers from Ignite Dance Academy to help bring the magic of Broadway to Rancho Cordova. Expect drama! Expect romance! Expect at least a few tunes that will be stuck in your head all the way home.

Whether you’re a Broadway buff or just someone who enjoys a good tune and a great time, this concert has something for everyone. No prior theater experience required – though spontaneous humming is highly encouraged. No tickets are required – just bring your love of music and enjoy the show.
