   The North Coast Men's Chorus presents two song-filled concerts  
featuring the greatest songs of Broadway, past and present, on April 4  
and 5.  Beautiful music, show-stopping dance numbers, and plenty of  
laughs and tears are all part of what you'll experience when the  
80-plus men of the chorus (and a few female guest artists) take the  
stage at Waetjen Auditorium at Cleveland State University, 2001 Euclid  
Avenue. 

Now in their 21st season, the Chorus has shared the stage with notable  
celebrities like Linda Eder, Michael Feinstein, Armistead Maupin, and  
Broadway legend Bernadette Peters.  Earlier this month, the Chorus was  
a featured guest of the Cleveland Pops Orchestra when they presented a  
concert featuring the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein at Severance  
Hall.
ON WITH THE SHOW promises something for everyone, from classics like  
/Oklahoma/ and /Carousel/ to recent hits from /Wicked, Jersey Boys,  
/and /Mary Poppins/.  Songs that you've heard before take on a new  
meaning when sung by a gay men's chorus.  "When we remove a song from  
the context of the show, it is amazing to discover other ways to  
interpret the lyrics," says Richard Cole, Music Director.  "A very  
simple song can turn into an anthem for acceptance and tolerance."

As with past concerts by NCMC, you're in for a real treat.  There will  
be over-the-top dance numbers, and this concert features a "unique"  
take on /Nothing Like a Dame/ and a Busby Berkeley version of /Raining  
In My Heart/.  But the costuming and dancing are well balanced with  
the beautiful music from arrangements like /Send in the Clowns/ and  
/Feed the Birds/.

Pre-sale tickets are available at www.ncmchorus.org or by calling  
216-556-0590 with prices ranging from $10 - $35. Tickets at the door  
are slightly higher. 

   Tickets may also be purchased at Big Fun on Coventry, the  
Borders-Westlake and at the door.
