Summer Starlight at Cape Rep Theatre

Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening Under the Stars
Summer Starlight: Cape Rep Theatre’s 40th Anniversary Gala

This year, we celebrate Cape Rep Theatre’s 40th anniversary, and we wanted to do something extra special to celebrate the occasion. Why go to New York when you can come to Cape Rep to listen to internationally acclaimed “Elizabeth Bougerol & Her Band,” in a not-to-be-missed premiere appearance on Cape Cod– right here at Cape Rep Theatre! From Birdland to the Barn, if you love jazz and the joyful music of the past, this is a night you don’t want to miss.

Elizabeth Bougerol – co-founder and frontwoman of powerhouse jazz revivalists The Hot Sardines — is capping a decade of leading her “simply phenomenal” (The Times) little big band with a sold-out 2024 Carnegie Hall debut, their 60th show at Birdland, and her first solo project: An all-new evening of re- imagined, NOLA-inspired jazz and blues all about joy – seizing the day and savoring life — with classics from Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Peggy Lee, and the Platters. Introducing all-original arrangements with and by four-time Emmy winner J. Walter Hawkes, and featuring Obie winner Matt Ray (Bridget Everett, Taylor Mac) on piano and vocals, Elizabeth’s new show has already sold out multiple shows at Joe’s Pub and Birdland in its fall ’24 debut.
