Copperstate Dinner Theater

Broadway Jukebox The World’s Only Interactive Musical!! Broadway Jukebox is the world’s most unique musical revue. During their delicious dinner, audiences are invited to select their favorites from our giant jukebox of over 125 Broadway show tunes dating from 1911 to 2006. The choices are tallied and a brand-new, world premier musical revue, created by the audience, is brought to life before their very eyes by our talented and versatile cast! Broadway Jukebox was an enormous hit 4 years ago at Copperstate, winning many awards including Best Original Musical and tremendous critical accolades.

Broadway Jukebox is conceived & directed by Peter J. Hill and choreographed by Noel Irick with musical direction by Judi Holmberg. It stars Jesse Berger (Man of La Mancha, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Forever Plaid), Kathy Donald (A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Songbook, The Odd Couple, Broadway by the Decade), Noel Irick (Noises Off, Run For Your Wife, The Big Radio Broadcast of 1941), Charlie Jourdon (A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Songbook), Elizabeth Reeves (A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Songbook, Somewhere in the Night - The Barry Manilow Songbook, Smokey Joe’s Cafe), and Michael Stewart (A Beautiful Noise - The Neil Diamond Songbook).

When no two shows are ever the same, it can be - to put it mildly - a challenge. As exciting for the performers as it is for the audience, a great part of the show takes place backstage out of the audience’s sight. Broadway Jukebox requires an amazing cast of actors whose versatility is put to the test each night as they adapt to the demands of each evening’s audience. Only one half hour before curtain, the cast mingles with the audience, and collects their jukebox selections for the evening. The pages are then carried backstage where the choices are quickly tallied and the most requested songs are compiled. With the help of the staff, songs are frantically put in dramatic and comedic order, divided by style, duets and ensemble numbers and then with literally only minutes to go until curtain, the final list is copied on to a giant whiteboard which is posted backstage, just in time for the cast to make their first entrance!

Broadway Jukebox will play at the Copperstate Dinner Theater, 3801 E. Washington inside the Phoenix Greyhound Park.
