For the inaugural Playbill Travel event, Playbill is taking over the luxury, AAA Five-Diamond St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico for a program combining the best of live Broadway entertainment with a stay at an idyllic tropical location and a myriad of onsite activities.
Priced starting at $7790 per room, based on single or double occupancy, the eight-day/seven-night “Broadway by the Sea” program is scheduled from December 8-15, 2014. Headlining the trip will be nine-time Tony winner Tommy Tune (Seesaw, My One and Only, Nine, A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, Grand Hotel, The Will Rogers Follies), Tony winner Laura Benanti (Gypsy), “Smash” star Megan Hilty, Tony winner Faith Prince (Guys and Dolls), Tony winner Paulo Szot (South Pacific), Tony winner Donna McKechnie (A Chorus Line), and, returning by popular demand for her fourth Playbill adventure, two-time Tony winner Christine Ebersole (42nd Street, Grey Gardens). More talent is to be announced.
