Featuring The Music of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber
London’s West End comes alive with this tribute to the British featuring composers including Lionel Bart, Anthony Newly, Gilbert and Sullivan, and of course Andrew Lloyd Webber. A Broadway trained cast of five singers, including an alumnus of the title role of Phantom of the Opera, brings to life Music Hall comedy numbers, powerful West End ballads and a special tribute to the sophisticate of all time: Noel Coward. Hear all your favorite hits from blockbuster shows, including Evita, Oliver, The Mikado, Sunset Boulevard, Phantom of the Opera, and even a Beatles tune or two. Pops Goes British made its debut with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in April 2002 to great acclaim. Be among the first to present this crowd-pleasing show!
