What better way to celebrate Valentine’s than with an unforgettable evening featuring some of the best-known love ballads of Broadway! Over the years, the PSO has presented several outstanding artists singing the very best of this genre, and this concert will be no different. It features three fabulous singers: Alli Mauzey (starred in the 2023 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Kimberly Akimbo), LaKisha Jones (best known to millions of TV viewers as a top four finalist during the 2007 season of American Idol), and Jason Forbach (most notably performed in the acclaimed 2022 Broadway revival of Into the Woods alongside Sara Barielles).

“Begin the Beguine” (Porter), “I Could Have Danced All Night” (My Fair Lady), “The Impossible Dream” (Man of La Mancha/Leigh), “Defying Gravity” (Wicked), and “All I Ask of You” (The Phantom of the Opera) are just a few of the classic pieces included in this trip down Broadway.
