It's always a pleasure to perform the great songs of the musical theatre canon, especially for such an appreciative audience. And where else can I tell stories and sing songs about my parents that an entire audience will understand?" said Blumenkrantz of his return to Boca Grove.Jeff Blumenkrantz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Blumenkrantz, residents of Boca Grove Golf & Tennis Club, began his career as an actor on Broadway performing in "Into the Woods" (1987), "Threepenny Opera" (1989), "Damn Yankees" (1994), "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (1995), and "A Class Act" (2001).
