My husband and I had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time together at the Westchester Broadway Theater and enjoy a delicious dinner while getting to know the other couple seated at our table. After dessert and coffee, the lights dimmed and the show began.
We left the theatre humming some of the popular tunes “Camelot” and “What do the Simple Folk Do?” The choreography and the use of stage space were creative and exciting. Camelot is a beautiful love story with some great twists and a touch of comedy, perfect for a fun night out.
As always, the Westchester Broadway Theater does an amazing job bringing these shows to the Westchester area, and everyone from the chefs, to the wait staff, actors, stage hands, and musicians bring such professionalism and sincerity to both dinner and show, that we are truly lucky to have this here.
