It also gave chance for musicians to take the spotlight if they were highly talented.
Fast forward, the show took a nosedive when sponsors failed to keep it on its toes but it has been revived with the aid of a partnership that was signed between the National Theatre Board and the Multimedia Group Limited yesterday, June 18, 2019 at the National Theatre, Accra.
Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Wednesday, Mr Anane Adjei, communications director for National Theatre said the new face of the show would be hugely patronised than before.
According to him, Concert Party projects Ghanaian values and put the nation on the map with regards to theatre arts.
