March Theater Escape to Chanhassen and St Paul!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Chanhassen Dinner Theater
and The Color Purple
Ordway Theater in St Paul

March 25 - 26, 2009
Wednesday & Thursday
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ~ The Oscar winning movie musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers comes to the Main Stage at Chanhassen Dinner Theater. The classic boy-meets-girl love story has an award-winning musical score, amazing dancing and a romantic happy ending seven times over. Set in the Oregon wilderness, it begins with love at first sight between Millie and a handsome backwoods-man who sweeps her off her feet and takes her to his cabin in the mountains. There she discovers she is expected to keep house not only for her new husband Adam, but also for his six sweet, but delightful uncivilized brothers. You’ll be swept away in this musical comedy laden with thrilling choreography and music that will leave you humming the rest of the day!
The Color Purple ~ From Alice Walker’s classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and the landmark by Steven Spielberg comes a soul-stirring new musical. Oprah Winfrey presents “The Color Purple” is an inspiring and unforgettable story of a woman, who, through love, finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her unique voice in the world. With a moving book and a score featuring gospel, jazz, ragtime and the blues, The Color Purple is ultimately a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and a celebration of life.
(The Color Purple has only a short run at the Ordway - March 17 - 29 so don’t miss this delightful opportunity to see it while it’s here!)

We highly encourage folks to purchase travel insurance for all tours…especially those in the winter. Weather is very unpredictable and may prevent you from getting to your boarding site. OR it may become necessary for the group to stay an extra night due to inclement weather conditions. If this happens, it becomes the financial responsibility of the traveler. Not only will travel insurance cover health related issues that prevent a person from keeping taking a scheduled tour, but it also covers weather related events. It waives pre-existing conditions when purchased within 14 days of your initial deposit.
