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:
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 introduce “The Big Easy Broadway Experience” in New Orleans this fall, an excursion centered upon the new Louis Armstrong musical which is named – what else – A Wonderful World – and so much more. 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.
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 of 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 A Wonderful World 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.
Show Overviews:
A Wonderful World
A new musical based on the life and songs of jazz legend and American icon Louis Armstrong, starring Tony AAward winner James Monroe Inglehart. Told from the perspective of the women in Armstrong’s life, A Wonderful World charts Armstrong’s journey from the birth of jazz in his native New Orleans through his international stardom. The musical also focuses on the complex history of race in America, leading up to the Civil Rights Era.
