Back to Broadway

Minnetonka Choral Society (MCS), under the direction of Jere Lantz, is pleased to announce our upcoming spring concert. When we offered “Ticket to Broadway” in 2014, we had no idea it would tickle the ears, hearts, and tapping toes of so many music lovers. So, this spring, it’s “Back to Broadway” with a completely new take on a great American art form. We’ll move from classics like Kiss Me Kate, Fiddler on the Roof, and The Music Man all the way into the 21st century with Wicked, Newsies, and Spamalot, plus a lot of favorites between (remember Candide and A Chorus Line?).
