Segerstrom Center: First Look at 2015-2016 Season Previews #SCFTAFirstLook

I always look forward to hearing what musicals are coming to Orange County. To get invited to a preview of the whole next season of shows at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa was so exciting!! This 2015-2016 Season Preview Event was an evening full of videos and live singing and dancing performances, showing the audience clips from each musical play coming to the SCFTA this year. So, are you ready to find out what those shows are??

We enjoyed an amazing performance to Circle of Life from Tshidi Manye who plays Rafiki in The Lion King, a beautiful performance from The Sound of Music, and two numbers from the Newsies musical, and more! Everyone were all so talented!!

It was a great musical theater evening with my sister. We also had fun meeting the cast of Newsies after the show! (Terrible photo, but it was so cool!!) A great way to see them all is to become a Season Ticket Holder!
