Lights Up On Broadway

Lights Up on Broadway is a high-energy celebration of the songs, stories, and larger-than-life moments that define American musical theater. From the first note, Your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra transforms the concert hall into Broadway itself — bold, colorful, and alive with character.

The program opens with Gershwin’s vivid An American in Paris, setting the stage for a concert filled with rhythm, glamour, wit, and unmistakable theatrical flair. At the heart of the evening is the world premiere of Julian Bond’s Rhapsody for a Blue Clarinet, by George!, performed by Jennifer Royals — a playful, virtuosic tribute that slips naturally into this world of Broadway brilliance and Gershwin-inspired charm.

From the bite of Cabaret and Chicago to the sweeping emotion of South Pacific and Evita, the program moves effortlessly between eras, styles, and unforgettable characters. The concert also features the vocal debut of Jordan Bicasan, a longtime violinist of the orchestra, stepping into the spotlight for the beloved American standards Dream a Little Dream of Me and Ain’t Misbehavin’.

With music from Grease, Cabaret, Evita, Chicago, South Pacific, and more, Lights Up on Broadway is nostalgic, electric, and filled with unforgettable melodies — Broadway at full power, immediate, glamorous, and impossible to sit still through.
