My wife and I went to see the Anastasia Play at the Civic Theater and was blown away. We have seen hundreds of plays at the Civic Theater but this true story about a little girl in Russia was really interesting and AWESOME ! I have never seen such Fantastic Video effects and film in the background of the play before. Simply Great ! They story was easy to follow and was very interesting and the music was very nice. Broadway San Diego brought a Great play to San Diego for this year.

My wife and I went to the Broadway San Diego Awards show at the Balboa Theatre this week and enjoyed a great show. This is the first year for the Broadway San Diego Awards with out Ben Vereen highlighting it. The awards show also included for special guests, a after rewards party at the Spreckels Theatre a block away from the Balboa Theatre. The talent of these young high school students was amazing ! And it was nice to meet and talk with some of the performers after the show. I would highly recommend that you help support these young performers next year when they have the Broadway San Diego Awards show for 2019.

Elite ’17 4.0 star rating 5/30/2017 Ben Vereen Awards Were Nice My wife and I went to the Ben Vereen Awards at the Balboa Theater this week and enjoyed the competition . The local talent competition presented by the San Diego County Credit Union is to ultimately find the top high school musical talents in the San Diego area. It was exciting watching the top 20 of our county best performers, take to the Balboa stage to win over the judges votes, and get down to the final male & female finalists. Seeing Ben Vereen on stage, and listening to his powerful words when it comes to the youth of the United States in the field of Arts, is so inspiring. If you get a chance to go to the 2018 Ben Vereen Awards. Do It ! You will not be disappointed.

My wife and I were invited to the 2016-2017 Broadway San Diego Preview Presentation and VIP Party a week ago at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego, and we had a great time !. My wife and I have been President Club season ticket holders at Broadway San Diego for several years. Every year Broadway San Diego has a special invitation only Preview Presentation and VIP party for President Club members. The purpose of the event is to view the entire up coming and new play schedule for the next Broadway San Diego Season. The presentation was hosted by Barbara Lee Edwards from KFMB Channel 8 news. After watching a short preview of which plays that were going to be featured for 2016-2017 season, we listened to live performances by singers from the Sound of Music, and the Lion King. Lead singer Tshidi Manye came all the way from New York City, just to sing the famous Circle of Life song to us. Tshidi's performance was breath taking ! After previewing the 2016-2017 season, the VIP Presidents Club members were invited up on stage for a very special party. The party included wine, champagne bars, and a magnificent collection of decadent finger foods, which were prepared by St. Tropez Bakery & Bistro. Everything was delicious ! Sarah Jordan the Senior President's Club Representative who my wife and I deal with the most, is Awesome ! Sarah is so professional and precise, as she has handled all of our wants, needs, and requests perfectly over the years. Sarah also played a large roll in the success of this event. Vanessa Davis, Sarah Jordan's boss, and who is Broadway San Diego's Groups, Patron Sales, & President's Club Manager, did a wonderful job organizing, and preparing everything for this Broadway Presentation and VIP Party. Broadway San Diego Vice President Joe Kobryner started the VIP Party off, by introducing all important sponsors and guests to the VIP Party members. Towards the end of the VIP Party, the director of Marketing and Business Development Carl Thompson, raffled off several very nice prizes for all guests in attendance. This night at the Balboa Theatre was Informative, Fun, Fantastic, and was nicely organized and executed by all Broadway San Diego employees. Great Job ! The Nederlander Group would be very proud of you !
