Musicals Rock

★★★★☆

Since the late 60’s, rock musicals have been a mainstay of musical theatre. Shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Rent and The Rocky Horror Show have contributed to a rock revolution that continues today with shows like Dear Evan Hanson and Waitress. As part of the Halle Orchestra’s 2002/2003 concert season, conductor Alfonso Casado Trigo has selected some of his favourite rock musicals for the Halle orchestra to perform alongside seasoned singers Emma Kingston, Debbie Kurup, David Thaxton and Ricardo Afonso.
