International borders remain shut but Gold Coast seniors can take a trip to Midtown Manhattan with this year’s Broadway-themed concert held during Queensland Seniors Month.
The annual event will awaken the senses and touch the soul on Tuesday 19 October, in a stunning tribute to Broadway musicals such as Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera.
Mayor Tom Tate said this year’s show would feature an hour-long journey of hits in a moving tribute to the iconic Luciano Pavarotti.
“Every year, seniors tell me what a highlight this concert is and I’m sure this year’s entertainment will be just as memorable,” he said.
“Seniors Month is an important way to recognise how much our seniors have contributed to our local community. It’s our way of saying thanks.”
