Broadway Night

Broadway Night

January 26th and 27th 2024

The South Lakes High School Chorus Program and Parents for the Choral Arts (PCA) are excited to announce Broadway Night 2024! This year is the 19th anniversary of Broadway Night.

Broadway Night is a musical theater intensive designed to give our chorus and performing arts students an opportunity to perform in a Broadway themed musical revue. The experience includes working with professional choreographers and music directors.  This year, we plan to rehearse and produce the show in person again and performers will have sessions with directors and choreographers.  Performers must have the discipline to rehearse, come to rehearsal prepared, and work respectfully! 

We are excited to offer the opportunity to make music and work together to create a unique, one-of-a-kind performance with students in 5th through 12th grade from our South Lakes HS pyramid schools.

Bookmark this page, it will serve as our "central hub" for Broadway Night and will be updated frequently.
