GULFPORT - The Salerno Theatre Co., "Tampa Bay's Musical Theatre Company is bringing its widely acclaimed theatrical concert production of "Broadway in Concert" back to the Hickman Theatre for a two-week run, May 15-25, 2008, at the Catherine Hickman Theatre, 5501 27th Ave. S., Gulfport.
Show times are Thursday through Saturday, 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

"Broadway in Concert" played a short four concert special engagement at the Hickman Jan. 4-7, 2007 and all shows were sold out. Since it played 15-months ago, the show has been updated with 10 new songs, new scenes and five new cast members for the 2008-09 touring season. While the new incarnation of the show is inline with the original, the new "Broadway in Concert" promises to appeal to both audiences who saw the show last year, as well as those who haven't experienced it yet.
"Broadway in Concert" is a retrospective theatrical concert montage of 50 years of Broadway's biggest hits. Salerno Theatre enjoys the unique distinction of having received permission directly from the Broadway and popular composers (and/or their representatives) whose music is performed in the show, including Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Frank Wildhorn, Stephen Schwartz, The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization and Music Theatre International to name a few.
The show features Bay-area favorites Scott Greenberg, Michael Mathews, Kristina Huegel, Andrew Schlosberg, Jaime Giangrande-Holcom and Capria Pichette.
