“Dance The Night Away” With Transcendence Theatre Co. at Jack London Park
Transcendence Theatre Company presents Dance the Night Away August 5-7, 12-14, and 19-21 featuring show-stopping dance numbers celebrating tap to Fosse and everything in between combined with powerful vocal performances to create a rousing evening of
entertainment.
”Dance the Night Away” will pay tribute to many well-known dancers and singers sharing some
of their most popular music,” remarked show director Tony Gonzalez. He continues his description of
the show: “The concept of ‘dancing the night away’ actually goes beyond the standard idea of dancing.
This is about getting lost in the joy of movement and music, which is really something anyone can
experience.”
Audiences familiar with “Broadway Under the Stars” shows will not only see a new show when
they attend Dance the Night Away, but will discover some distinctive transformations to the
performance space. “We know everyone cherishes the special atmosphere of the Winery Ruins, which
of course will continue, but we are excited to change things up a bit with the set which we hope will
surprise and delight our regular patrons,” Gonzalez promises.
The performers scheduled to appear in Dance the Night Away include Alicia Albright, Allyson
Carr, Amanda Lehman, Amy Miller, Brad Surosky, Bryan Buscher-West, Casey Hebbel, Colin Campbell
McAdoo, Correy West, David R. Gordon, Dean de Luna, Dylan Smith, Eric Jackson, Erika Conaway,
Jacqueline Arnold, Jessica Lee Coffman, Keri Safran, Kiira Schmidt, Leslie McDonel, Matthew Rossoff,
Meggie Cansler, Michael Callahan, Nick Dalton, Stephan Stubbins, and Thomasina Gross.
Transcendence’s Broadway Under the Stars, now in its 5th season, is an award-winning series of
Broadway-inspired concerts featuring performers from New York and Los Angeles — artists who often
come to the Sonoma stage directly from recent Broadway appearances. More than a standard musical
revue, each show weaves well-known Broadway and popular songs into a spectacular themed
performance in the open-air 150-year-old Winery Ruins at Jack London State Historic Park.
Transcendence Theatre Company, named by USA Today’s 10BEST as the #2 “Outdoor Concert Venue
You Shouldn’t Miss” in the United States, received twelve 2015 Broadway World San Francisco awards
including Best Special Theater Event for the fourth consecutive year.
All events begin with picnicking amongst the vineyards of Jack London’s historic Beauty Ranch lawn—
including gourmet food truck fare, an assortment of local wineries pouring, and pre-show music—
casting a magical spell of communal festivity and summer celebration. Sunset heralds the start of the
show and the stage begins to sparkle as dusk descends and the Broadway stars sing and dance under
a starlit nighttime sky.
