From Stage to Screen

Some of our most beloved stories have come from the American Broadway stage. There have been stories of redemption, justice, love, courage, perseverance and more. Many of these timeless stories began on Broadway but later found new life with audiences on the silver screen.

Join the Believers Concert Band as we celebrate music storytelling from the Broadway classics that achieved popularity on both the stage and screen. Featuring unforgettable music from West Side Story, Phantom of the Opera, Grease, The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Misérables, and others.
