NAPERVILLE, IL — The sounds of Broadway hits will fill the air at Naperville's 95th Street Community Plaza this summer when Brightside Theatre brings a series of Rodgers and Hammerstein revues to the park.

The free "Summer in the Parks: The Music of Rodgers & Hammerstein" series kicks off June 30 at the park's Wagner Family Pavilion. During each hour-long revue, live singers and three musicians will perform famous tunes from "South Pacific," "The Sound of Music," "Cinderella," "The King and I" and other hit musicals.

“With many arts organizations unable to perform during the pandemic, this was a great way to pivot and bring the performances safely to the outdoors," Jeffrey Cass, BrightSide Theatre’s Artistic Director, said in a news release.
