Wonderful Town

Wonderful Town The Lowry, The Royal Exchange Theatre and The Hallé Orchestra combine forces to present Connie Fisher in Leonard Bernstein’s legendary musical comedy about two sisters in New York.

This will be the FIRST TIME that Music Director Sir Mark Elder will conduct a musical for The Hallé Orchestra.  It is also the FIRST TIME that a full symphony orchestra will have played in a theatre orchestra pit in this country.

Conversely, this is the LAST TIME that Braham Murray, will direct a production as Joint Artistic Director of The Royal Exchange Theatre before his retirement.

The Lowry is the ONLY VENUE that could have brought the three organisations together, due to a combination of its artistic ambitions, facilities and size of orchestra pit. Artistic Director, Robert Robson, is responsible for The Lowry’s commissioning and producing activities as well as the development of new and emerging artists and companies. “We are delighted for The Lowry to be a partner in this unique and exciting collaboration on this great piece of musical theatre with the three major arts organisations in the north west.”
