            Broadway Fantasies proudly presents its 23rd theater production, Your Hit Parade.  The shows two acts travel through musical history, spotlighting the Tin Pan Alley days of the ‘30s and ending in the revolutionary, rock ‘n’ roll styles of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Broadway Fantasies takes the stage at John F. Kennedy High School, 500 Woods Mill Road, Manchester, on June 2, 3, 9, and 10.

            Broadway Fantasies, features talented performers who entertain for their love of music and charity.  All profits from Your Hit Parade will benefit charities, such as the St. Louis County Older Resident Programs (CORP), which provide services and programs to support independence and quality of life for older adults. Since its establishment in 1992 as a nonprofit corporation, Broadway Fantasies has raised more than $100,000 for local charities.

Musen, Dryer, Segal, Sherman and Balzer are just a few of the volunteers in the Broadway Fantasy performing group, all varying in age and musical performance expertise and experience.
