This is a new way to present his music. One of the things that makes it unique is the production can be performed in any order. It is up to the producer and director to choose which songs are performed and the order in which they are performed. The show involves 15 students from the vocal area with accompaniment by 30 instrumental students.”
Songs that will be highlighted in this production are, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, “Another Suitcase”, “Unexpected Song”, “With One Look”, “Buenos Aires”, “Music of the Night”, “Love Never Dies”, “Close Every Door”, “There’s A Light at the End of the Tunnel”, “The Phantom of the Opera”, “As If We Never Said Goodbye”, “I Believe My Heart”, “Memory”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Love Changes Everything”, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”, “Think of Me”, “All I Ask of You”, “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again”, and “Song of the King”.
