SHO much fun had at Bway Trivia! 🤪
 🎭 Such a fun crowd gathered to answer all sorts of questions about Andrew Lloyd Webber, Annie (and Annie Warbucks), Patti LuPone, Hairspray, Schmigadoon, Ben Platt’s love life, Brooke Shields in Grease, and more!

🌹 Rose Granger Weasley herself (Ayanna Nicole Thomas) brought the house down with her rendition of “Don’t Rain on My Parade”. We loved her voice in How to Dance in Ohio - but Good LORD! That’s just the tip of the iceberg. This girl has one of the most powerful belts on Broadway!

🎶 And, always great to catch up with one of our favorite composers, Billy Recce. He performed a diddy from his new RIDICULOUSLY HILARIOUS musical, Fowl Play. Check it out on Spotify or Apple Music. 🐥
 🥳 Congrats to our winner - who beat out a returning champion - Nicole Bournas-ney! And all because she knew The Outsiders won the Tony for Best Musical last season…and many more MUCH hard questions. Enjoy your tix to see either the Friends, Office, or Seinfeld parody (with music by Billy Recce) at the Theater Center!

However, we think the best prize of the night was the Dirty Dancing The Musical kitchen apron - yes, it does say “I’ve Got Hungry Eyes” on it! 🤣🤣
 Join and next go around.
