Another Old Globe Production Garners National Attention

Friday, January 23rd, 2009 by The Best Places in San Diego

Some of the most successful Broadway Shows get their start in San Diego. The Old Globe in Balboa Park is one of the San Diego venues that has sent multiple shows to Broadway. Notable original productions include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Full Monty, Damn Yankees, and A Catered Affair.

The  Theatre Review in Today’s Wall Street Journal praises the Old Globe’s most recent production, Six Degrees of Separation.  The famous American playwright John Guare first made this production a crowd favorite on Broadway nearly 20 years ago.

The Old Globe is now bringing the play back to life. It is drawing visitors from around the country. The Journal’s drama critic states, “Broadway is due for a revival of ‘Six Degrees of Separation.’ When it comes, I hope it’s this good.”

Kudos go out to The Old Globe for another wonderful production. Few people outside of New York get to experience Broadway-quality productions on such a consistent basis.

San Diegans, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of what is in our own backyard. Head over to the Tony Award Winning Theatre to see “Six Degrees of Separation”.
