The musical is Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's piece based on Ferenc Molnar's 1909 play Liliom. It follows carousel barker Billy Bigelow and his romance with millworker Julie Jordan.

The one-off concert will feature a 31-piece orchestra conducted by Alex Parker playing Don Walker's complete original orchestration.
