About the Play

CVLT and the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra present Broadway hits both new and old - a concert for the whole family!

Director: Don Edelman
Musical Director / Conductor: Stephen A. Eva
Choreographer: Ida Porris
Music Arranger: Bill Corcoran

Steve Eva and Don Edelman team up for the fourth year running to bring you a special one-weekend-only concert musical event, featuring the 35-piece Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra on stage.

Under the direction of Don Edelman, some of the area's finest performers of all ages — Rob Albrecht, Gene Karlen, Rebecca Marks, Patrick Mazzarino, Libby Merriman, Sharon Lloyd and Ryann Angelotti, Talia Cosentino, Ashleigh Nagy, Molly Cohen, Daniel Sovich, and Zach Marks — will sing popular songs from Broadway musicals like Phantom, Les Miserables, My Fair Lady and newer fare like Beauty & The Beast and Mary Poppins.

Stephen Eva, musical director and conductor, will lead the full Studio Orchestra as they perform complete orchestrations—with many original arrangements by Bill Corcoran—from the stage. "It is unusual for smaller venues to be able to support full orchestras, and often the breadth of the music is sacrificed due to space constraints." says Mr. Eva. "Our show is unique in community theater as it allows the audience to fully appreciate the depth and brilliance of the arrangements."

About the Orchestra

The Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra is volunteer-driven, nonprofit musical endeavor that brings studio arrangements, as well as the classics that inspired them, to stages in the Chagrin Valley community. The Studio Orchestra is the only known orchestra in the region with a particular focus on studio arrangements. Written as film scores and rarely played live, studio arrangements represent some of the most dynamic, high-energy music of our time, by some of the most respected composers. The Studio Orchestra affords its musicians the privilege and honor to play these original works—and its audience members the rare opportunity to hear them played live. With guest musicians and vocalists as well as multimedia presentation, the performance experience is more than just a concert—it represents a new vision in musical entertainment.
