TESTIMONIAL:
“Now that we have caught our breath, just a short note to say what a great trip the New Orleans tour was! Of course, there are always more things to do and see than can be fit into a short schedule, but I cannot think of anything that was not a worthwhile memory of New Orleans. You always do a fabulous job and once again we were not disappointed!”
— Rowland & Karen G. (Austin, TX) –BAA New Orleans Guests
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
“Katrina McCrimmon. That’s a name audiences won’t soon forget!”
~ The Providence Journal ~
Every now and then we encounter the opportunity to offer our guests a uniquely compelling experience within the states outside of our customary NYC/Broadway trips, and that time has arrived once again.
Broadway Across America is thrilled to offer our latest New Orleans experience next March, an excursion centered upon one of Broadway’s recent smash hits, Funny Girl, as it tours through one of our most fun cities.
“Vivacious and delightfully glitzy”
~ Michelle Ruiz, Vogue ~
If you have never been – or it’s simply been too long since you have – we are here to remind you that there is no party and there is no celebration of life quite like New Orleans.
On that note, there also won’t be “too much party” by the time we arrive as Mardi Gras itself will have been the week prior. And there is something to be said for visiting the deep South when the temperatures are often glorious in March before the Spring and Summer heat kicks in.
The Crescent City is a vibrant melting pot which invites you to soak in its history, culture and, yes, perhaps a beverage or two and some exquisite dining. We are looking to hit on all these points and more in an enthralling excursion we have put together for our guests. A uniquely memorable experience awaits -from a steam boat dinner jazz cruise to a foodie’s delight of a progressive dinner winding and wending its way through the French Quarter.
Your quintessential New Orleans experience will culminate with Funny Girl at the famed Saenger Theatre. So here is your invitation -come and join us in the city where sugar-dusted beignets are a must, cocktail hour is anytime you want it and where you just might find yourself dancing to the beat of a street musician in Jackson Square.
Capped at 50 guests, this exclusive new experience features roundtrip airfare from most U.S. cities, pristine 4-diamond accommodations in the French Quarter at the historic Hotel Monteleone, roundtrip luxury car service and more! On the evening of arrival day, we get things started in stylish fashion with our sumptuous welcome dinner at the Red Fish Grill in the heart of the French Quarter on Bourbon Street.
Monday culminates with an ultimate “foodie” experience – a progressive dinner that will have us hitting some of the finest culinary (and cocktail) delights one might hope to find in the French Quarter. This 3 to 4-hour experience will have us venturing to a variety of stops from French Market vendors and Old Line Creole purveyors to classic bars and fine restaurants.
Optional small group explorations may include a morning beignet run at Café Du Monde, muffulettas at Central Grocery, a visit to the World War II Museum or perhaps a taking over a blackjack table at nearby Harrah’s Casino.
And finally, our New Orleans excursion is capped on our final evening with Funny Girl, which features one of the most iconic scores of all-time, fabulous tap choreography and direction by Michael Mayer – this love letter to theatre has the whole shebang!
This could be THAT trip you have been waiting for! Early March is an ideal time to experience New Orleans with the continuing moderate temps of late Winter into early Spring and the French Quarter still abuzz post-Mardi Gras.
Grab your spouse, old or new friend, sibling, mom or dad and experience New Orleans like you never have before!
Show Overviews:
Funny Girl
Iconically originated on Broadway by Barbra Streisand, this bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened – she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
