"Spent the afternoon at the theater seeing Beauty and the Beast. Such a talented group of young artists who transported the audience into a magical world. They are truly dedicated to their craft. The costumes were beautiful and the choreography was well thought out. All in all, a highly entertaining show!"

"BOT provides an excellent way for children to participate in theatrical productions. We are so grateful to have a place where our daughter can learn, grow, be inspired, perform, and make friends. Thanks BOT!!!"

"My granddaughter and I saw Honk yesterday and thought it was a really great show. All your shows are great.. but this one was even greater. Several of the performances seemed exceptionally good too. Can't wait for Annie."

"This group is absolutely amazing! My daughters learned so much from performing with BOT and they forged lifelong friends in the process. This is a wonderfully enriching experience for any kid. And they put on a terrific show! You would be in awe of the talent that comes from the kids of BOT. That comes from the wonderful people who are their leaders. Thank you BOT for enriching all of our lives--parents included."

"Hello, I can't tell you how much my daughter and I enjoyed your Beauty and the Beast production this past weekend. I came expecting to be entertained, and I was. What I did not expect was to laugh so hard (thanks Gaston!), and I certainly did not come expecting to cry. But that's what I did when Belle danced with the Beast. His portrayal of someone afraid that no one could possibly love him, and her look of love that pierced all his self doubt, moved me to tears. To draw an audience into a story so much that its emotional power takes hold of you is the highest compliment a performer can receive. You did that on Sunday. Bravo."

"I'm sending you a very heartfelt thanks for providing a magical first time live theater performance for my four year old daughter. The October 18 matinee was funny, moving, and had terrific performances across the board. However, my four year old daughter thought Lumiere was quite charming, and the "Beast" positively enchanting! It was my daughter who ran up to the Beast after the show and gave him a huge hug. I believe you played your part with such pathos and passion that she reacted to you as a human, not a monster. I thought the production was most professional and stayed after the performance to purchase tickets for the rest of the season. My daughter's only disappointment is having to wait until February to see your company perform again."

J.H (Patron) "Beauty and the Beast 2009"
"Thank you so much for such a wonderful day yesterday. We celebrated my daughter’s 6th birthday with the Tea Party, goodies and 12 Dancing Princesses and it could not have been more wonderful. All our friends commented on what a great experience the whole event was and how talented the performers were. I was so thankful to have all the help getting our guests seated and everyone went out of their way to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. And it was! My daughter felt like the 13th dancing princess! Thank you all again and we look forward to seeing the next performance of Broadway on Tour!"

"Last Saturday, I attended an afternoon performance of "Seussical" with my wife and son. This outing was at the request of my son. At first, I didn't expect much entertainment from a production given by youngsters. My pre-conception was that it would be amateurish and unpolished. BOY!! WAS I EVER WRONG!!! Seussical is very polished, professional, well-acted and the musical scores are superb!! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this performance. Casting Nikki Martensen as "THE Cat" was simply purrrfection !!!! She really gave a very commanding and convincing portrayal of Dr. Seuss'es quizzical feline character. It's been over a week since we attended her performance and I am still smiling when I recall the way she gave her character life and charm Following the performance, I accompanied my son as he gathered all the actor's autographs. I was totally amazed to notice that the entire cast were indeed youngsters!! The very youngsters that I, at first believed, could never put on a professional performance worthy of any large ticket theatre. I highly encourage anyone who has never been to a Broadway on Tour show, to go see "Seussical" at the Ebell Theater in Santa Ana. It is highly entertaining and memorable. It will be the highlight of your month as it was mine!"

L.S. (Patron) "Seussical 2007"
"I recently viewed your Wizard of Oz production. One of my friends has a season tickets and convinced me to come with my kids. When I was small, this movie scared me so much I could never enjoy the story and I wasn’t too excited to view the show. As soon as the play started, I knew I would enjoy it. My kids (3 and 5) THOROUGHLY ENJOYED your show (even though they were tired when we got there – and it was a little long for their first play). AMAZING!!!! YOU HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB!!!! They also LOVED getting signatures from the entire production (even from the wicked witch). VERY ENJOYABLE!!!!!!!!!!! So my question is…. What is coming up for the next season? How do I purchase season tickets. We would like to make it an entire family event as well (with the grandparents as well). THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!!"

J.H. (Patron) "Wizard of Oz 2006"
"I have thoroughly enjoyed your theater performances for the past 2 years with my young granddaughter (nearly 5 yrs. old), and am looking forward to bringing her 2 little sisters as they get older. We attended Saturday's performance of the Wizard of Oz and thought it was wonderful! I am always blown away by the talent of these young actors and, this show particularly, the costuming! And, my granddaughter just loves meeting the actors after the show and getting their autographs. Please let them know how much that is appreciated! I am thrilled with the upcoming season's choices and don't want to miss the opportunity to get tickets. With that in mind, would you please put me on you mailing list for future show and ticket information? CONGRATULATIONS on your wonderful work with and for children!"

ABOUT US

(714) 542-6939

Broadway on Tour (BOT) is a non-profit, volunteer run theater company celebrating its 30th year of bringing affordable, live musical theater to the families of Southern California. BOT was founded in October 1988 in Placentia, CA. Our first performance was “A Christmas on Broadway” three months later! Our mission is simple, instilling in families the love of live musical theater!

To provide a place for families to watch live performances, we offer shows on weekends in a facility that is comfortable for young audiences and provides free parking. We produce one and two-hour musical matinee performances featuring characters and stories recognizable by kids of all ages. Our shows are performed by kids typically aged from eight to twenty, with auditions open to the public.

Broadway on Tour provides a professional director, choreographer, vocal director and costumer for each show. We properly license the rights for all of our shows. BOT is a registered non-profit corporation and our budget is supported by ticket sales and participation fees with occasional small grants and donations. Season Ticket holders are a key to our success and many have watched our actors grow from children to young adults. As a volunteer run organization, Broadway on Tour relies on parents, alumni and community volunteers to help with all aspects of our shows’ production; truly living our motto: “Families bringing theatre to families!”

All performances are held at the historic Ebell Theater located at 625 French Street in Santa Ana.
