Mason Cabaret: Broadway's Big Night!
The George Mason School of Theater’s beloved musical theater ensemble, The Mason Cabaret, takes over the Concert Hall at the Center for the Arts with “Broadway’s Big Night!” This cabaret-style celebration brings a fresh lineup of accomplished student vocalists to the stage, delivering showstoppers, tender ballads, and duets drawn from the Broadway canon. It’s a perennial favorite in the school’s season, offering a glamorous evening that showcases the range and polish of GMU’s musical theater ambassadors.
The production is co-directed by Erin Gardiner and James Gardiner, with musical direction by Joe Walsh. The Fairfax campus performances run from February 12 through February 14, with multiple showtimes across the weekend.
