Make friends. Make memories. Make music.

Taking a page from the Taylor Swift playbook, each show will be a journey through the eras of Broadway, from 1950 to now, including solos, small group numbers, big chorus numbers, and some great dancing! Audiences can also expect to be charmed and entertained by our presenters, as students more focused on acting get the chance to host our evening and act out a scene or two as we introduce music from each show. Young viewers will be encouraged to join our cast on stage for a familiar song, and parents and families can expect a trivia challenge or two during our performance, creating a warm, interactive, community environment while delivering professional, top-notch entertainment.
