TESTIMONIAL:
“My son and I are most grateful to both of you for a delightful weekend. The Tony Awards were a lot of fun as were our two shows. The theatre tour was fascinating. And both meals were excellent - far better than I expected.
You took wonderfully good care of us. It was one of the best trips I have made in some time. I have a lot of happy memories about this tour. Thank you very much.”

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
Broadway Across America is pleased to extend this invitation to join us Columbus Day weekend for an unforgettable Broadway weekend in New York City featuring an exclusive, insider’s experience highlighted by newly crowned 2010 Tony Award® winners in each of your three shows.
Your weekend kicks off the brand-new sensation MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, which comes off a Tony® nomination for Best New Musical and a Tony® Award for Best Featured Actor in Levi Kreis who plays Jerry Lee Lewis. It’s a very unique (no intermission), creatively produced and riveting show that reels you and keeps you there for the entire show – a great way to start the weekend. Following the show, we have scheduled a “chat back” with the featured actors exclusively for our group. This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
It just gets even better on Saturday night when a freshly conceived revival of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES starring five-time Emmy Award® winner Kelsey Grammer takes center stage on your itinerary.
“A TRIUMPH! KELSEY GRAMMER and DOUGLAS HODGE are EQUALLY DISARMING in Terry Johnson's
INSPIRED production! Mr. Hodge makes A BRAVURA BROADWAY DEBUT and Mr. Grammer provides THE IDEAL COUNTERPOINT. The ladies of LA CAGE have never looked more appealing: the Cagelles exude RAW PLEASURE and the athletic production numbers are a DELIGHT.”
- Ben Brantley, New York Times
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is the 2010 Tony® Award winner for Best Musical Revival and also garnered wins for Best Director (Terry Johnson) and Best Lead Actor (Douglas Hodge). We have some great seats reserved for you as well as a scheduled meet-and-greet with Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge.
Your weekend in New York finishes strong with your third featured show, PROMISES, PROMISES. It's Manhattan. It's the '60s. And the city is back in full swing, in Broadway's first-ever revival of the Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Neil Simon classic — starring Emmy® Award winner Sean Hayes (Will and Grace) as the enterprising associate on the way up, and Tony® and Emmy® Award winner Kristin Chenoweth (WICKED) as the cafeteria waitress whose romantic troubles have got her down.
PROMISES, PROMISES also delights with Tony® Award winner Katie Finneran as Best Featured Actress for her show-stealing performance as the barfly on the prowl who sets her sights on Chuck (Sean Hayes).
Come early October, you just might find there’s no other place you would rather be than New York City. The weather can be expected to be at its finest with scenic fall foliage in Central Park and just the right temperatures both day and night. Meanwhile, every detail of your trip will be attended to by our dedicated staff.
Following door-to-door service from airport to your hotel door via luxury town car, it is time to settle in to distinctive accommodations at the perfectly situated Hilton New York Times Square. Your weekend in the Big Apple then kicks into gear with an elegant welcome reception with fellow guests, a prelude to the first performance of the weekend.
Limited to just 40 guests, this Broadway Across America exclusive also features roundtrip airfare, door-to-door luxury sedan service to and from the airport, an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour and the dedicated professional on-site services of the Broadway Across America staff.

When Georges' son brings his fiancée's conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, tensions mount and feather boas fly! LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a funny and touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together… stay fabulous… and above all else, stay true to themselves.
