For 2 nights only on June 11th and 12th, Broadway veteran and Central Illinois native Bart Shatto will perform his vocal cabaret show BACK TO BROADWAY WITH BART…AND FRIENDS!!
Peoria area audiences may remember Bart from his performances in THE GLASS MENAGERIE and SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD with the Apollo Professional Theatre, a professional equity theatre in Peoria back in the early 2000s or they may have had the amazing pleasure of seeing Bart in Cornstock Theatre’s production of THE SECRET GARDEN 6 years ago.
But where Bart has made his career and left his mark are in the five Broadway Shows, numerous National Tours, and his memorable solo appearances with the International marvel called THE TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA.
The show will feature songs from Bart’s Broadway musicals and tours including selections from LES MISERABLES, CATS, HANDS ON A HARDBODY, DRACULA:THE MUSICAL, THE CIVIL WAR, and the most recent WAR PAINT which starred Patti LuPone! Other selections will be from the shows MAN OF LAMANCHA, JEKYLL AND HYDE, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and more!
