SummerScape 2026 | Singers+Songwriters Presents "America Sings Broadway"
A tribute to the spirit of America brought to life through show stopping songs from Broadway’s greatest composers. Acclaimed Broadway singer and producer Tina Marie Cassamento, accompanied by several special guests, performs a selection of Broadway songs that capture the American experience through the works of some of the theater’s greatest composers. Musical director David Libby leads a program featuring favorites from 1776, Hamilton, West Side Story, and The Music Man, as well as “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy” from Little Johnny Jones.
Historian Paul Sparrow will provide background and context for each song and offer a perspective on how Broadway both reflected and helped shape public opinion.
This event is sponsored by The Inn at Canal Square.
This program is part of Lewes 250, a commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, honoring our town’s rich past and bright future. Lewes 250 brings neighbors, visitors, and local organizations together in celebration of the “First Town in the First State.”
New this year:
No registration required! First come, first seated.
Open seating under and around the pavilion, and on the grass. Plenty of room for all!
Guests are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets, or borrow one of the library’s folding chairs. Note: To help maintain clear sightlines for all, guests with higher-backed chairs are kindly asked to sit toward the back of the pavilion.
Picnics are welcome!
In case of inclement weather, the performance will be in the large meeting room of the library. That decision will be made by 1:00 PM the day of the scheduled event and posted on the library’s website and social media (Facebook and Instagram). Seating in the large meeting room will be first-come, first seated in chairs we will provide.
