This weekend’s three Choral Sounds Northwest performances will bring the curtain down on Mark A. Adrian’s 22-year career as the group’s conductor.

The 80-member choral group’s presentation of Give Our Regards to Broadway, featuring songs from four much-loved musicals, is a fitting send-off.

The concert showcases how versatile and polished the group has become since Adrian founded the group in 1984.

Beyond choral performances, the program includes dancing, comedy and romance staged with specially designed sets and lighting.

Judy Sanders provides the witty narration.

Although leaving Choral Sounds, Adrian will still conduct the Cantare Vocal Ensemble.

Veteran Snohomish County musical theater director David Spring has been appointed interim conductor. Spring will conduct the annual Christmas and spring shows in Burien.

A nation-wide search is underway for Adrian’s permanent replacement.

The Broadway shows are at 8 p.m., Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 21, at the Highline Performing Arts Center, 401 S. 152nd St. in Burien.

This spring’s concert features favorites from Damn Yankees, Mame, Beauty and the Beast and Cabaret.

The show begins with the 1950s story of a Washington Senators fan who makes a pact with the devil to help his baseball team win the pennant. (Don’t be tempted, Mariners fans!)

Sports fans are reminded by the men’s chorus that to be a faithful fan, you gotta have “Heart.”

If anybody can distract the guys from the game, it’s Kathleen “Kat” Rogers, who performs a sizzling rendition of “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets.”

Others performing solos are Kerry Wallingford, Leon Dillingham, Roger Hanson and Penny Rempfer.

Rempfer is joined in “Shoeless Joe” by dancers Marcia Walters, Jennifer Rees and Anna Marie Devine.

Moving ahead a decade to the 1960s, Choral Sounds presents seven songs from Mame, the story of a wealthy, brassy aunt who adopts her nephew and tries in her own way to raise him to live life fully.

Norma Sitton as Mame belts out “It’s Today” and is joined by King County Superior Court Judge Genie Middaugh as her friend Vera in “Bosom Buddies.”

April Miller also contributes a solo.

Disoriented audience members may think they are attending Choral Sounds’ annual December concert when the chorus performs “We Need a Little Christmas.”

The full chorus contributes an early showstopper in the musical’s signature song, “Mame.”

The kids will definitely settle down after intermission when the chorus presents favorites from Beauty and the Beast.

The 1990s Disney musical tells the fairy tale of a prince changed into a beast who must find true love before the last petal falls from an enchanted rose.

Petite Erika Zabelle (“Belle”) and towering Bruce Cameron (“Gaston”) form a funny mismatched pair while performing “Me.”

Newcomer Zabelle and veteran Choral Sounder Bill Houser (“Beast”) team up on “Something There.”

Patrick Gleason and Pat Brodin offer solos, while Barbara Ann Snow, Meghan Dougherty, Sondra Tolentino and Sharon Lorkowski dance on “Be Our Guest.”

When the chorus sings the romantic “Beauty and the Beast,” it’s obvious that the title characters will live happily ever after.

The tone changes quickly with the harder-edged Cabaret.

Set at the beginning of Hitler’s Third Reich, the musical unfolds in a late 1920s Berlin nightclub. It profiles the romance between an American writer and English cabaret performer.

Kevin Swanson makes the most of the showy Master of Ceremonies role in “Wilkommen” and “Money.”

Lauren Balestreri also shines as nightclub performer Sally Bowles in “Don’t Tell Mama” and “Maybe This Time.”

Others taking solo turns are Wendy Warman, Chuck Tobin and Marcia Walters.

The Kit Cat Dancers are Balestreri, Rogers, Middaugh, Devine, Michele Bader, Suzanne Broback, Maureen Prichard and Kate Losleben.

The Broadway tribute ends as the chorus reminds the audience that life is a “Cabaret.”

Reserved seat tickets are $25, $18 and $15.
