Broadway in Boothbay: A sweet holiday-inspired delight

Fri, 02/20/2015 - 11:15am

An enthusiastic crowd of cabin fever breakers — 65, to be exact — appeared, pre-blizzard, at the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor on Feb. 14 for a night of Broadway’s classic songs.

They drank champagne and ate chocolate covered strawberries while listening to and cheering on the performers.

It was a fun night, for couples and the many solos who arrived, perhaps hoping for love.

Audience members also each placed their guesses for when the last of the snow in the Opera House parking lot would disappear with guesses going as far out as July.

The winner, from that night’s show, will get a pair of tickets to an Opera House show this summer.
