Rocktopia celebrated its official Broadway opening at the Broadway Theatre March 27. The all-new concert event celebrates the fusion of rock and classical music and features performances by world-renowned vocalists, a five-piece rock band, a choir of 40, and an orchestra of 20.
Flip through photos of the opening night celebrations below:
The lineup of performers includes Train frontman Pat Monahan (who is performing through April 8), Robert Evan (Les Misérables, Jekyll & Hyde), Tony Vincent (American Idiot, The Voice), Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Chloe Lowery, Kimberly Nichole (The Voice), and Alyson Cambridge (The Merry Widow).
Robin Zander, lead singer of Cheap Trick, will be a special guest vocalist in the show for the final week of its limited engagement, April 23–29, and the recently announced Dee Snider, lead singer of Twisted Sister, will perform April 9–15.
The play comes on the heels of a broader cultural conversation about Dahl's work and the prejudice that was embedded in many of his most beloved stories.
