Broadway and Beyond choices

We'll be rounding out our season this year with our fourth version of Broadway and Beyond- the musical theatre cabaret show that I started my first year here. I'm very fortunate to be able to work with such awesome talent- and I think B&B gives me a chance to show off that talent a little more.
A lot of people ask me how I chose songs for Broadway and Beyond- and the answer is pretty simple- I chose what I like! I do try to balance older and newer songs, male and female, group and small...but sometimes I just chose what I think will be fun for the actors, audience- and what I want to work with! I listen to a lot of broadway shows and I always think 'wow, that would be a great B&B song' when I hear something that's awesome! There are some limitations- songs have to have a story and they have to be 'stand alone'- that is, you have to be able to understand them without knowing the story of the musical. That knocks out some really great songs- but there are always more!
Once auditions are done with (next Monday and Tuesday) I'll have a better idea of exactly what songs we will be doing- but I can say that songs from Aida, It's Only Life, Glory Days, Rent, Seussical, In The Heights and a lot of other shows are on the menu.
Seating is extremely limited for this show- the audience sits on stage for the show, so we can only seat 65 people per night. Tickets are on sale now and are already selling quickly- so call the Box Office and get your tickets now! 636 584 6693.
See you at the theatre!
