The Ritz: Hits of the Big Band
An Original New West Theatre Production
July 3 – 26, 2014
2014 is a monumental year for the arts in our city. Not only is New West Theatre turning 25 years old, the Lethbridge Big Band has been bringing sounds of jazz and swing to Southern Alberta for 50 years! In celebration of these incredible milestones, we’re coming together to bring audiences THE RITZ Hits of the Big Band this July.
Dean Martin, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra. We know their names. We cherish their songs. Watch New West Theatre’s performers put a fresh spin on your all time favourites combining crooner classics with witty comedy and amusing antics. This unique production will feature a special guest performer every week that has contributed in the past to both New West Theatre and the Lethbridge Big Band.
