Transcendence Theatre presents An Enchanted Evening
September 7-17
For the third show in their 2023 season of Broadway Under the Stars, Transcendence Theatre Company will close out the summer with a night of sensational music and dance with the highly anticipated An Enchanted Evening, September 7-17. Performances at Beltane Ranch in Glen Ellen will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday evenings. An Enchanted Evening is directed by Transcendence’s own Executive Director Brad Surosky and marks his Transcendence directorial debut. Tickets for An Enchanted Evening start at $35 and are on sale now. Groups of ten or more save up to 20%.
Conceived by Surosky, along with fellow company members Matt Smart (Hamilton National Tour) and Amanda M. Stuart (The Phantom of the Opera National Tour), An Enchanted Evening celebrates the best of Broadway and beyond with thrilling dance and musical performances underneath the magnificent Wine Country stars and sky.
“This is my favorite show of the year where we get to pay tribute to some of the best of Broadway and beyond, with some of the best talent from across the country,” shared Surosky. “The show will take you on a journey of magic, love, friendship, persisting through obstacles, growth, and celebration. It is truly what this community needs right now.”
Surosky continued, “There are special arrangements and musical surprises that will delight audiences throughout the show. For instance, two incredibly skilled pianists will open Act 2 with a rousing “Dueling Pianos” section that will rock the stage!”
