“BEST New Year’s Eve events in Los Angeles!” LA Times, LA Weekly, Daily News.
Champagne, sparkling juice, and a delectable dessert buffet accompany this rousing, family-friendly Rudie-DeCarlo musical revue with Playhouse joining in the singing, dancing, humor and other delights culled from over 6 decades of audience favorite Santa Monica Playhouse productions. With finger-snapping jazz, foot-stompin’ sing-a-longs, Jewish patter songs, romantic ballads, this show has it all! Add hats, tiaras, noisemakers, leis and streamers and you have a not-to-be-missed New Year’s Eve celebration. “A company that knows what its audience expects from an evening of theatre!” LA TIMES.
Usher in 2024 and the Playhouse's 64th anniversary of continuous theatrical and educational services to the community. Featuring internationally acclaimed Actors’ Repertory Theatre members Holly Gibson, Isabel Lindley, Michala Peltz, Playhouse Co-Artistic Directors Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, and guest artists Larissa Dowling, Kellen Gold and J.T. Melaragno, it’s the BEST New Year’s celebration in town!
The 10:30 show lets you celebrate the changeover to the New Year in the theatre with members of the Santa Monica Playhouse Actors' Repertory Theatre. The 7:00 show offers everything the later show does and is a great way to celebrate with the entire family, letting the kids have a real New Year's Eve treat, and get home at a reasonable hour, or kick off an evening of after-theatre dining and celebrating. Champagne, sparkling juice and dessert buffet served 6:30 to 7:00 and 10:00 to 10:30. Tickets go VERY FAST so book today!
