"I thought I knew everything there was to know about Broadway (That’s not true, I don’t know anything...) but the Broadway Up Close tours made a believer out of this bitter old cynic. Every second was doused with fascinating information. I would go again. And again...till I memorized all of it!" Jackie Hoffman Hairspray, The Addams Family, Xanadu, On The Town

"I have worked in several of the theaters that BUC talked about and I learned new things that I would have never known. I'm so happy I took this tour and am looking forward to going on Act II and Act III!" Neil Haskell Hamilton, Cinderella, Tuck Everlasting, Bring It On: The Musical, So You Think You Can Dance

"I’m still talking about things that I learned on my ACT I Tour. As a Broadway performer, having a knowledge of how my industry came to be makes me feel even more connected to an art form that I love so much. And I get to impress friends and family that come to visit with anecdotes I picked up. Or, if they’re here long enough, I just send them to BUC!" Nick Cartell Paramour, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Phantom of The Opera
