Anything Goes in Concert and Follies in Concert, which were scheduled over two consecutive weekends at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium (January 24-25 and January 31-February 1), have been canceled due to the ongoing situation with the Eaton fire affecting Pasadena, Altadena, and surrounding areas.

Danny Feldman, producing artistic director of Pasadena Playhouse, the State Theater of California, said in a statement: “Pasadena Playhouse is heartbroken by the devastation that this week’s fires have inflicted on so many within our community, and we continue to be grateful for the outpouring of concern and support. We are fortunate that our historic building has not sustained any significant damage. Given the extensive impact of the fires on Playhouse staff, artists, and audiences, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming In Concert productions of Anything Goes and Follies at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. This was not an easy decision to make, but our theatermakers and staff are currently unable to come together to continue the vital work of creating these monumental productions. We remain committed to the safety and support of all the artists, crew, and staff who have been deeply impacted.”

Pasadena Playhouse will be in touch with ticket holders soon. They ask for patience, as the box office is currently closed.
