Symphony on the Lawn

Get ready for an unforgettable free concert on the Great Lawn! Join us
on August 28 at 7:30 p.m. for the world premiere of Broadway Then and Now, a one-night
symphonic experience featuring the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
Co-conceived by and starring Tony Award winner Santino Fontana (Tootsie, Disney's Frozen)
and Broadway superstar Erika Henningsen (Just in Time, Mean Girls), with acclaimed music
director Andrew Resnick (Just in Time, Parade), this show was developed in partnership with
the Ferguson Center to bring a world-class theatrical event to our community.
From The Sound of Music to Hamilton, and Anything Goes to Frozen, this performance bridges
the past and present to showcase the evolution of musical theatre in one very special evening
featuring two of Broadway’s biggest stars along with the incredible Virginia Symphony
Orchestra.
This world premiere is free and open to all, so bring your blanket, grab a spot on the lawn, and
celebrate the music that has powered Broadway for nearly a century! If the weather doesn’t
cooperate, the concert will be moved to the Ferguson Center’s Diamonstein Concert Hall.
