Broadway comes to the Boardwalk
Broadway comes to the Boardwalk as The Sound of Music and Kinky Boots open limited runs in Atlantic City this month. (Later this summer, from June 25 to July 21, Jersey Boys opens at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.)
Sound of Music will play Caesars Colosseum April 16 to 21, and Kinky Boots runs from April 30 to May 5 at Hard Rock.
For the even more culturally minded, the Atlantic City Ballet will present Sleeping Beauty April 28 at Caesars.
Tickets to all three are available at Ticketmaster.com.
