Pullman, WA — The unforgettable music of Broadway legends Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II will light up the stage this winter as the Regional Theatre of the Palouse (RTOP) presents Rodgers & Hammerstein’s A Grand Night for Singing, running February 19 through March 1, 2026. With a Meet the Musicians: A Cabaret Concert, taking place Saturday, February 7.

This Tony Award–nominated musical revue is a joyful celebration of one of the most influential partnerships in theatre history. Featuring more than 30 beloved songs, the show takes audiences on a sweeping journey through classics from Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music—along with hidden gems rarely heard onstage.

Originally conceived by Walter Bobbie and arranged by Fred Wells, A Grand Night for Singing premiered on Broadway in 1993 and quickly became a favorite for its fresh, inventive approach to timeless music. Rather than telling a single story, the revue reimagines familiar songs in surprising and emotionally rich ways, revealing new meaning and depth in every performance.

“Rodgers and Hammerstein changed musical theatre forever by blending powerful storytelling with unforgettable music,” says director Michael Todd, a Palouse native and longtime theatre professional. “If you grew up loving these songs, you’ll experience them in a whole new way and if you’re new to musical theater, there’s no better place to start.”

Between 1943 and 1959, Rodgers and Hammerstein created five groundbreaking Broadway masterpieces establishing the modern musical and shaping American theater for generations. A Grand Night for Singing honors that legacy.

RTOP’s production features a dynamic ensemble of talented performers from across the country and professional local musicians. The creative team includes: Executive Director, John Rich; Artistic Director, Michael Todd; Musical Director, Tina McClure; Choreographer, Andres Felipe; and Costume Designer, John Rich.
