Duo, big band transform Vernon stage into Broadway, Vegas Strip

Melina Schein, Neville Bowman, and the Manhattan Skyline Orchestra present Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights Thursday, May 1, at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre

Timeless glamour. Modern magic.

Throw in two fabulous singers and the Okanagan Valley's newest and hottest show band, and, well, what a night you will have.

You can step into the dazzling world of Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights Thursday, May 1, at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre at 7:30 p.m.

Depicting classic characters and their stories in a bold, contemporary way, Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights showcases the captivating chemistry of a silky crooner – Neville Bowman – and a soaring soprano – Melina Schein – creating a one-of-a-kind vocal dynamic that delivers thrilling, unforgettable moments. 

The pair is backed by that hot, new show band – the Manhattan Skyline Orchestra – a group that unites the region’s finest musicians, including Juno Award winners and nationally acclaimed stars, for an extraordinary 18-piece big band experience.

"This electrifying production re-imagines the timeless glamour of Las Vegas with the theatrical flair of Broadway, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge pizzazz," said Schein. "It slices, it dices, it croons, it belts. It’s the one-night-only musical spectacular that combines big band brass, Broadway sass, and just enough jazz to keep the room spinning."

With bold arrangements of iconic songs, innovative multimedia elements, and a repertoire that spans Sinatra-era swing to contemporary Broadway showstoppers, Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights is a feast for the eyes and ears.

The Manhattan Skyline Orchestra brings the shimmering skyline of NYC to life alongside the golden glow of the Vegas Strip, seamlessly fusing old-school charm with modern innovation.

"Side effects may include toe-tapping, swooning, light flirtation, and spontaneous key changes," warned Schein.

Broadway Lights, Vegas Nights takes the stage for one night only Thursday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m., at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are available by calling 250-549-SHOW (7469) or at .
