The Danbury Mad Hatter Chorus is celebrating its 50th anniversary! Showtime is at 7:30 pm on Saturday May 7 at Western Connecticut State University’s Visual and Performing Arts Center, 43 Lake Avenue Extension, in Danbury. The show’s title is “It’s a Brand New Day.”

You can hear not only traditional barbershop favorites written near the turn of the 20th century but also tunes from the current one performed in today’s barbershop style. You will want to listen for the difference. It’s easy, however, to tell the difference between men in red and white striped vests and our featured guests this year – the award-winning all-female quartet, GQ. Of course, you can also see Danbury’s own Mad Hatter Chorus as it begins the next half century of spreading joy and harmony. If you think you don’t care for barbershop music, prepare to be surprised because - It’s a Brand New Day!

Performing ensembles will range in size from chapter quartets, to the current chorus, to a reunion chorus that includes returning former members and directors. The grand finale will include all of the aforementioned performers plus our featured guests. Some of the songs are: You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby, I’m Sitting on Top of the World, The Long and Winding Road, and selections from the Music Man, the Beach Boys and even Jason Mraz. Up to forty talented singers performing uplifting music are sure to make it an outstanding and memorable evening.
