Wisconsin Singers, which provides top tier entertainment by some of the University of Wisconsin’s most talented musicians, will perform at Wausau West High School as the group celebrates its 50th anniversary season.
The Broadway-caliber revue, Can’t Stop Dancin’, will be performed at 7 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 18.

From Aretha Franklin to Duke Ellington, KISS to Elton John, Pentatonix to Taylor Swift, and Moana to the Muppet Show, Can’t Stop Dancin’! promises entertainment for music lovers of every genre and generation.
Covers of Broadway hits from Dear Evan Hansen, Rent and Hairspray balance out classic rock, top forty and smooth jazz. Wisconsin Singers band rocks the house with a tribute to The Beatles and a lively medley of swing tunes.
Badger fans will enjoy the tribute to UW’s Fifth Quarter too, where you can sing along to On Wisconsin, dance to Hey Baby and jam to Tequila. Wisconsin Singers alumni, Taras Nahirniak (arranger/orchestrations), Michael Stanek (choreographer) and Jarad Voss (choreographer) have joined the creative team to produce an exciting and fun show that promises to entertain audiences of all ages.
