Then watch as popular conductor John Wilson takes to the stage with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for a rousing, silver screen-themed concert featuring a raft of favourites with music and songs from Carousel, Annie Get Your Gun, The Sound Of Music and more! And with guest soloist, the critically acclaimed Broadway star, Kim Criswell, singing classics from ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’ to ‘Stormy Weather’, you’re sure to be dancing and singing all along the waterfront.
