- Round trip direct non-stop British Air, Tampa to Gatwick
- Seven nights at London’s four-star hotel, The Rubens at the Palace, on Condé Nast’s 2013 Gold List of the top 500 hotels in the world. This is also the closest hotel to Buckingham Palace, and the breakfast and staff are unparalleled.
- Breakfast daily at the hotel
- A variety of London theater experiences. Plays we are considering to include: Top Hat with American tap-dancer, Jerry Travers; Much Ado About Nothing with Vanessa Redgrave and James Earl Jones; Barking in Essex; Matilda the Musical; Once; and The 39 Steps.

- London bus tour with guide
- A full-day at Waddesdon Manor (the Rothschild’s estate that includes a tour of the house, the many beautiful gardens, and a wine-tasting in the Rothschild’s wine cellar). We will also have lunch at the estate. This is truly one of the most beautiful manor houses in the world.

- Two group lunches and two group dinners
- A visit to a special London museum

This is a trip you will not want to miss! Whether you’re a seasoned American Stage Tripper or this is your first trip with us, you’re sure to leave with many new friends and lasting memories. We always have a grand time!

WE’RE BROADWAY BOUND AGAIN!AMERICAN STAGE’S FAMOUS NEW YORK TRIP IS ALL SET...
ALL WE NEED IS YOU! (SOLD OUT!)
Please contact Tom Block at (727) 823-1600 extension 208 to be placed on the waiting list.
THE DATES: APRIL 10-14, 2013
HERE’S THE EXCITING PLAN:
We fly to New York on a regularly scheduled airline where we will be met by our trusty bus to transport us to the SOFITEL, 45th St. off 5th Ave., near all the shops! The bus will be with us during the entire trip for transporting to theatres and all events. One of the many reasons we choose the Sofitel is that in addition to its outstanding service, ALL rooms have a walk-in shower and a bathtub. With its 4-star rating, the Sofitel also has an excellent restaurant where we will enjoy a fabulous breakfast daily (except for Sunday when we will have an elegant Sunday brunch). We will also have a very special group dinner.
The four days we are there will be filled with THEATRE, the main reason we go to New York! Most of the shows we will see are not yet confirmed, but you can be sure they will be the best “on the boards.” Here are some of the shows we’re considering: The Nance, a new musical starring Nathan Lane; Ann, a Lincoln Center production starring Holland Taylor who portrays Ann Richards, the former governor of Texas; Nora Ephron’s Lucky Guy starring Tom Hanks; the new musical Hands On Hard Body; and also Chaplain. We are working with our New York ticket agent to make sure we put together the best available package of four plays.
In addition to the theatre, we will visit The Cloisters museum and gardens. Part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this museum overlooking the Hudson River is devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Highlights include world-famous tapestries (which were restored in 1999), stained glass windows, column capitals, and lovely gardens. We will also stop for lunch on this day.
In summary, here’s what you’ll get: Round trip air, bus service from and to N.Y. airport, 4 nights in a luxury hotel with breakfast daily except Sunday, 4 great theatre events with round trip bus service, a museum visit, a splendid group dinner, and an elegant Sunday brunch. The helpful Tom Block is our trip leader. You also will be contributing $200.00 to American Stage, and you will be in the company of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and enjoy traveling with!
