Celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday With a 'Cabaret'

As Valentine’s Day rolls around, it can’t be denied— love is in the air! Love can be expressed in so many ways, but one of the best is through song. 

On Saturday, Feb. 16, come celebrate love with some of the most enchanting, unforgettable and lovey-dovey songs to ever grace the stage. Bring that special someone, your family, a friend or simply let Broadway be your Valentine this year!

Performers from the Greater Ocean City Theatre Company’s Professional Broadway Series return to the stage in a casual, entertaining and intimate cabaret of favorites from the Great White Way. The evening begins with a pre-show dessert reception in the lobby of the Hughes Performing Arts Center at Ocean City High School that will feature a medley of sweets from local eateries, two chocolate fondue fountains and hot beverages from Starbucks Coffee of Somers Point.

Evening entertainment will include songs from new and classic musical theater productions. OCTC’s Junior Company will make a guest appearance with an encore performance of “Don’t Walk Away” from their summer production Xanadu.

Come feel the love for one night only on Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Hughes Performing Arts Center on the beach block of Sixth Street. Doors will open for dessert reception at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Tickets purchased before 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 4^, are $18 per person. Tickets will be $20 thereafter.
