Description:
Located on the Hollywood Broadwalk and Beach, the theater is the only seaside venue of its kind in Broward County. This unique facility includes seating for 500. During performances the Broadwalk in front of the theater becomes a spacious under the stars dance floor for up to 100. A variety of nearby shops sell tee-shirts to Harleys and restaurants feature light meals to fine dining, many al fresco.
The Hollywood Beach Theater is currently home of three musical series presented Monday to Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m., year-round, weather permitting. All are free.
Monday - Theater Under the Stars Series
The longest, ongoing cultural program offered by the City of Hollywood, the Theater Under the Stars Series features bands performing music from the ‘30s and ‘40s to the easy listening of big band, swing and contemporary favorites. It’s the perfect background for dancing or simply listening while enjoying ocean breezes.
Featured performance groups have included Cozy Michaels, Miguel & Company and Poppy.
Tuesday - Dancing in the Moonlight Series
Since 1992, the only rule for Tuesdays at the Theater is that “everybody dances.” Musical styles range from line dancing to fox trots, from cha chas to meringues or the twist. A perfect opportunity to relax and mix, the Dancing in the Moonlight Series is a party everyone is invited to attend.
Performers have included Wayne L. with his Musical Fun Show, the Swell Tones and Dean & Lee.
Wednesday - On the Broadwalk Series
A big favorite with contemporary music lovers, the On the Broadwalk Series features the sounds of today. From rhythm & blues to country, rock & roll and musical tributes, this series is a welcome answer to the midweek doldrums.
Featured bands have included the Soul Providers, Brass Cats, Sundown, the Fabulons and Chris MacDonald with Memories of Elvis.
The Hollywood Beach Theater is also a focal point during CanadaFest (February), the Fourth of July, the Hollywood Beach Latin Festival (August) and the Candy Cane Parade (December).
Whether you select a favorite night as many do or come all three, a Hollywood week is not complete without an evening on the Broadwalk at the Hollywood Beach Theater.
Sponsorships are available for the series by calling the City of Hollywood Department of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department, (954) 921-3404.
