Music of the Night: The Concert Tour.

Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre is bringing the best of Andrew Lloyd Webber to B.C. with Music of the Night: The Concert Tour, an awe-inspiring amalgamation of the English musical-theatre megastar’s best works.

The concert was first presented in B.C. in 2019 and 2022, and is finally returning to the province after having toured across Canada to sold-out audiences. It features excerpts from 10 of Webber’s most iconic shows, including Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, and more.

With a live band and several celebrated singers, this concert experience is coming to six different Metro Vancouver locations this fall: the Abbotsford Arts Centre on October 12, the Vancouver Playhouse on October 16, the ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge on October 17, the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey on October 18, the Massey Theatre in New Westminster on October 19, and Genesis Theatre in Delta on October 20.

The tour will continue on throughout B.C. into November, with stops planned in Nanaimo, Courtenay, Campbell River, Victoria, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Trail, Creston, Cranbrook, Penticton, Oliver, and Chilliwack.

Founded by Alan Corbishley in 2007, charitable organization Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre adopted its current name in 2017 as a way to generate awareness (“sound alarms”) around the needs of the community it serves. The multidisciplinary company marries music and theatre with opera, dance, cabaret, circus, interactive media, and beyond, all of which it works into its project-based programming model.

For example, in its sold-out coproduction BERLIN: The Last Cabaret with City Opera Vancouver at the 2020 PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, it helped increase understanding of autocratic tendencies arising in the U.S. akin to the 1934 oppression of queer artists in Berlin—including bodily rights and gender identity.

Although Music of the Night is not centred on a particular social issue, it allows Sound the Alarm to build its artistic capacities without dependence on government grants, helping it through the financial crisis currently faced by the arts community.
