Weathervane Theatre to Present Spring Song Cycle Series

WHITEFIELD, NH—Weathervane Theatre and Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa are pleased to announce they will present a spring song cycle series next month. Two productions—Broadway Road Trip and Top of the Charts: Hits Through the Decades—will be presented in the Crystal Ballroom at the Mountain View Grand the last two weekends of April.

“We presented Broadway Road Trip and Top of the Charts in 2020 as part of our virtual programming,” said Weathervane Producing Artistic Director Ethan Paulini. “We are so excited to breathe life into these pieces once again and finally perform it in front of an in-person audience!”

This spring song cycle series is the second recent joint venture between Weathervane Theatre and Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa. This past December, the two organizations presented Who’s Holiday! and Winter Wonderettes.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Weathervane Theatre once again,” said Mountain View Grand Managing Director Lloyd Van Horn. “So many of our guests are fans of the theatre. After the success of our holiday partnership, we are ecstatic to offer this exclusive and intimate theatrical experience at the Mountain View before Weathervane’s 59th season begins.”
