Apropa’t a Broadway

Concert by BMB and Els Pirates Teatre, under the direction of Ximo Tarín, with selections from Broadway musicals such as Chicago, Cabaret, West Side Story and Cats.

The programme looks back at some of the musicals born on Broadway, the area of Manhattan between Times Square and Seventh Avenue where numerous theatres are concentrated. Under the direction of Ximo Tarín, BMB and Els Pirates Teatre perform a repertoire made up of selections from works by John Kander, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Leonard Bernstein, as well as the piece On Broadway by Willy Faust.

Among the titles are excerpts from Chicago and Cabaret, both by John Kander, songs from the musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a selection from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein. Several of these works were later adapted for the cinema, and Cats has been translated into various languages since its premiere in London's West End.

This is a relaxed session: the rules on noise and movement in the hall are more flexible, and small adjustments to lighting and sound may be introduced. It is designed for all people and families who prefer a calmer environment, such as families with children, people with Alzheimer's or people with autism, with the aim of reducing anxiety levels. Sala 2 Oriol Martorell, in Barcelona, hosts concerts and shows.
