The third annual UBMT Sings concert will feature BFA Music Theatre students performing the songs of one of the greatest writing teams in Broadway history. Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty are, respectively, the lyricist and composer behind “Ragtime,” “Once on This Island,” “Seussical,” “Anastasia,” and more. These renowned collaborators have received theater, film and music’s highest honors—the Tony Award, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Olivier Awards, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes and four Grammys. Join our students as they explore the rich melodies and beautifully drawn characters that defined a generation of musical theatre.

The UB Theatre and Dance 2025-2026 season is sponsored in part by Fox Run at Orchard Park, celebrating its seventh year in support of the department.
