Valley Musical Theatre Announces a Two-Night Theatre Event Including Dinner Theatre

Cabernet Cabaret presents The Books of Broadway

The Books of Broadway is a cabaret style review that highlights selected bodies of literature that have inspired Broadway musicals. Featuring small excerpt narrations from the books themselves, The Books of Broadway will transport the audience from the written page to the living stage in what will be a heartwarming, toe-tapping experience.

Written, arranged and directed by Kelle Dvorak Vandenberg, and musical direction by Jan Jaffe of Make Music Ellensburg.

Only two performances and seats are limited to about 90 per performance so early RSVP is strongly encouraged. 
Friday, October 21 is a show only ticket, and Saturday October 22 is our annual gala and dinner theatre performance. This fun fall tradition only comes once per year so get your ticket early!  Our Dinner Theatre performance sold out well in advance last year. 

Enjoy a delectable dinner, complimentary wine, and be entertained with songs from some of your favorite musicals, and participate in a silent auction to support our theatre and its 2023 Season.
