Broadway Night - June 3rd


Broadway Night: From Berlin to Sondheim
Live Musical Broadway Performances & 5 course Italian Dinner
Sotto Sopra Restaurant
Sunday, June 3rd – 6 pm to 9 pm
Tickets:  410 -625-0534


 After the sellout crowd at Sotto Sopra Restaurant’s first Broadway Night we have been hearing “encore, encore.”  In the words from the Broadway play Oliver, “Please sir, I want some more?” has been resonating.  Sotto Sopra listened and pulled together an amazing cast of performers for this unique June 3rd, Sunday evening of memorable Broadway tunes from Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun to Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods – as well as additional hit Broadway shows.

 An ideal evening of our award winning fine Italian cuisine interspersed with live performances of the songs that continue-to-this-day lighting up the Great White Way.  Sotto Sopra is located at 405 N. Charles Street, the archway to Baltimore’s cultural district. Reservations/tickets should be placed at (410) 625-0534.

Be part of the evening’s festivities; you might even be inspired to dress as your favorite Broadway character, like the barber in Sweeney Todd or Eva Peron in Evita. It will be an evening of great vocal performances by these amazing talents:
