Theatre Ancaster’s Best of Billboard brings all-time greatest hits to the Hamilton stage

Theatre Ancaster is one of the Hamilton area’s most reliably high-quality live entertainment companies, and their latest concert experience promises to be one of their most widely appealing.
The company is presenting Best of Billboard from April 18th to May 4th at the Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre (357 Wilson Street East) and tickets are sure to fly for a show featuring live performances of some of the greatest hits of all time.
According to lead producer Colin Lapsley, Best of Billboard emerged from a discussion about how Theatre Ancaster could match the Music of Motown concert the company produced to great success last year. What better way than to build a showcase for some of the most iconic Billboard songs ever written?
“Given that we didn’t feel strongly about any singular genre of music being as slick as Motown, we decided to dive into more of a general topic this year,” says Lapsley. “It’s been a challenging but cool experience trying to whittle down all that Billboard material into a cohesive and entertaining two hour show, but I think we’ve done it.”
Performed by a talented cast of local singers and performers, Best of Billboard promises an eclectic mix of tunes with something for everyone: expect to hear thrilling live renditions of songs you love by The Beatles, Janet Jackson, Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars, Madonna, Taylor Swift, and beyond.
With the legendary music catalogues of these artists, audiences may not be able to expect much music they’ve never heard before, but they might hear a song they didn’t think was for them in a fresh way.
“I feel that the people that come to see the McCartney/Elton-type songs will be very entertained by the Gaga/Swift-type material that they may not be as familiar with, and vice versa,” adds Lapsley. “I’m certainly in the classics camp and have really enjoyed learning to appreciate newer music.”
