Garrett Clayton, Evan Rachel Wood, Jennifer Stone, and Richard White Will Lead Broadwest 2023-24 Premiere Season

Broadwest Entertainment, a new production collective based in Los Angeles, has announced its inaugural 2023-24 season of programming.

“The mission behind Broadwest Entertainment is to present known works in new ways and new works all while creating creative home for the pool of great talent Los Angeles has to offer,” explains Artistic Director Pablo Rossil

Adds Rossil, "Over the past few years Los Angeles has unfortunately lost its rhythm in live entertainment production. With so many theatre companies discontinuing, and performance venues closing at an alarming rate, now is the time for independent productions to carry the banner while the entertainment system heals itself. This city is a hub for great art, and independent thoughts and creativity getting a chance to be the driving force over traditional structures is fantastic. I am excited to join the many great artistic endeavors happening all around the city already as a fresh, new entertainment offering.”

Broadwest Entertainment offers four-show, three-show, and two-show subscription packages (in addition to single show tickets). Guests may see all four shows this season for as low as $99!

SWINGIN' WITH THE MOUSE, “The Jazziest Show on Earth,” starts the BROADWEST season on September 29 at 8pm at the Downey Theatre in Downey, California with additional performances on September 30 at 2pm and 8pm at the Scherr Forum in Thousand Oaks, California. Join the SWTM Band as they celebrate the magic of your favorite film and TV music, featuring original jazz renditions of classic and beloved songs. The SWINGIN' WITH THE MOUSE cast features Garrett Clayton (“Tanner” in Teen Beach Movie), Emmy Award winner Keith David (“Dr. Facilier” in The Princess and The Frog), Deedee Magno Hall (The All-New Mickey Mouse Club), LEAH LEWIS (“Ember” in Elemental), KAITLYN ROBROCK (the voice of “Minnie Mouse"), Jennifer Stone (“Harper” in Wizards of Waverly Place), and Richard White (“Gaston” in Beauty and the Beast). 

2024 programming will open on Friday, January 5, with an unforgettable performance by musical duo EVAN AND ZANE (Emmy Award winner Evan Rachel Wood and Zane Carney), backed by a 30 piece orchestra with orchestrations by CARNEY. The evening will be conducted by Michael Sobie.
