They will be joined by ensemble members John Barr, Nicholas Colicos and Christopher Doyle.
The concert performance will be directed by Shaun Kerrison, with musical direction by Michael England.
Featuring songs including "Who Could Ask For Anything More?", Of Thee I Sing is a tuneful satire on American politics set in the run-up to the presidential election. Candidate John P. Wintergreen and his team are trying to discover what the American people care about most – is the answer love?
Wintergreen's party stage a pageant to find him a wife. Unfortunately, John falls in love not with the winner, the beautiful Diana Devereaux, but with the sensible Mary Turner...
The show takes on political idealism, corruption and incompetency, and reveals that love can affect not just domestic relations but international ones too...
