What the Press Said:

​

“If ever a local show has presented one with the opportunity for a one-stop tour of musical history, it is Broadway Babies…Ultimately, Broadway Babies can’t be beat for ‘bang for buck’. The costumes, as designed by Marcel Meyer, are terrifically inventive and stylish, and almost worth the price of admission alone” THE CAPE TIMES

​

“An utterly satisfying romp through classic numbers from the golden age of musicals…top production values…a top-notch production on all fronts. Miss it at your peril” THE CAPE ARGUS
