Valley Theatre Company’s annual Cabernet Cabaret returns this fall with a wickedly entertaining new theme — Broadway’s Dark Side (Broadway Goes Bad) — running November 7–9, 2025 at the Hotel Windrow Elks Ballroom. This fan-favorite musical event blends great food, fine wine, and unforgettable performances into one dazzling weekend of live theatre and celebration.

​

This year’s show dives into Broadway’s more mischievous, villainous, and deliciously dramatic moments, featuring songs from Annie, Beauty and the Beast, Beetlejuice, Bonnie and Clyde, Bring It On, Cabaret, Dear Evan Hansen, Death Becomes Her, Goosebumps, Hadestown, Heathers, Les Misérables, Little Shop of Horrors, Mean Girls, Sweeney Todd, The Descendants, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Little Mermaid, and more.

​

Only one weekend, only four performances, and seating is limited to about 90 guests per show. VTC has sold out this event four years running — so early ticket purchase is strongly encouraged.
