Anything Goes!

Camp Broadway is gearing up for its second week of NYC Camps beginning this coming Monday!

Our first week was great. Thirty kids from around the country (and Turkey!) came together to perform a showcase of Hello, Dolly! With special guests from The Lion King, and Anything Goes visiting during the week, the kids also got the chance to work with Camp Broadway's resident choreographer and head of our Dance Track program, and well our Camp Broadway's Artistic Director, Tony Parise (who is leading our performance in the Macy's Parade this year.)

Through the week our Campers had sessions in acting, dance, and voice. On Friday the performance went over amazingly well, in a real New York theatre complete with dressing rooms!
One of our Campers was even heard saying

Camp Broadway is the highlight of my life!

For the Wednesday Matinee, the kids were treated to a tour of the Steven Sondheim Theatre where the 2011 Tony Award Winning Revival of Anything Goes is performing! After the show, several cast members came up to the mezzanine to have a talk back with the kids, including several ensemble members, Justin Grier (a former Camp Broadway Teaching Artist,) and the shows star (or as the other cast members referred to her, their 'quarterback,') two time Tony Award Winner Sutton Foster, most recently for this, Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes! What a thrill!

Next week more fun is sure to ensue and we will be live tweeting (@CampBroadway) from Shining Stars, Next Step, and Classic Camp, as well as the audition for the 84th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

See you onstage!
