Birmingham Does Broadway
This will be the 5th year the Alabama Symphony Orchestra will be featuring some of the regions finest performers as part of Birmingham Does Broadway.
Chris Confessore, Conductor of the SuperPOPS! Series says,
“I really love working with the singers to help support their vision of a song as we bring it to life along with the orchestra. We have so much talent here in Birmingham! This year’s program features an all-female cast – some of Birmingham’s finest Leading Ladies!”
The setlist will include favorites from Broadway shows like Wicked, Les Miserables, Cats, Mamma Mia!, and The Sound of Music.
Confessore is looking forward to introducing the audience to a song he discovered in researching this year’s program,
“I found a hauntingly beautiful song by Andrew Lippa called I Don’t Need A Roof from his score to Big Fish (Based on the Daniel Wallace novel and Tim Burton Movie). I’d never heard the song before and loved it the first time I heard it. I immediately scheduled it for this year’s concert. I cannot wait to hear my friend Kristen Sharp Cambell’s performance in a few weeks!”

Christopher Confessore describes what SuperPops! is all about,
“The concerts are designed first and foremost to entertain our audience. The setting is informal and you’ll hear plenty of familiar music at just about any SuperPOPS program you attend, and you’ll likely hear something that is new and a pleasant surprise. We’re looking to touch your heart and put a smile on your face, and get your toes tapping, too!”
Confessore described the SuperPOPS! Schedule as nostalgic music that will trigger memories of where you first heard the music someplace before,
“One week it’s Broadway music, another week it’s action-packed film music, and another week it’s jazz or rock. Our amazing ASO musicians are so flexible and versatile, they give amazing performances week after week of a remarkably wide range of music!”
