Many performers from MUSIC MAN will be on-hand, including Mara Bonde, Lee Grande and Laura Sanscartier, along with new faces, new voices, a little Big Band, our fantastic chorus, and many more surprises!

To All The Supporters of the Greater Lowell Music Theatre...

With the great success, thanks to you, of THE MUSIC MAN IN CONCERT in August of 2012, the Greater Lowell Music Theatre is proud to announce that we'll be back in 2013 with TWO great shows.

On March 15 and 16, we will present the GLMT MELODY CAVALCADE, which will be an original musical show written by Jack Neary, and which will feature some of the great pop, jazz and Broadway songs of all time, selected by our Music Director, Leon Grande.  The show will be performed in Fisher Hall at UMass Lowell.  We're currently putting the cast together, so please keep following our posts for further updates.  Tickets will go on sale early in 2013, and information will be available on our web site, www.glmt.org, in a couple of weeks.

And in July, we plan to produce Frank Loesser's classic Broadway smash, GUYS AND DOLLS!  Please check our website for dates and more specific information as 2013 gets under way.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and enthusiastic encouragement. Please start passing the word that we're coming back with two exciting shows in 2013! 

Happy New Year!
