BSD’s New Season

BSD’s New Season

Broadway San Diego’s season begins with The Phantom of the Opera. At the Civic Theatre, Cameron Mackintosh’s lavish new production will be mounted from October 7-18. Mackintosh’s spectacular show has recently run in the United Kingdom to sold out houses. In this North American tour, there are 52 performers, with fresh scenic and lighting designs, as well as new staging and choreography. For purists, be assured the signature chandelier and special effects are definitely part of the experience. The beloved Annie graces the stage November 3-8 with book and score by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. The rest of the 2015-16 season includes If/Then, The Wizard of Oz, Newsies, and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. (800.982.2787, www.broadwaysd.com)
