Pasadena Playhouse Cancels 'Anything Goes' and 'Follies In Concert' Due To Eaton Fire

PASADENA, CA (January 10, 2025) –  Anything Goes in Concert and Follies in Concert, which Pasadena Playhouse was to have presented over two consecutive weekends at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium (January 24-25 and January 31-February 1, 2025), 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 and recipient of the 2023 Regional Theatre Tony Award, says, “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 decided to cancel the upcoming In Concert productions of Anything Goes and Follies at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. 

This was not an easy decision, but our theater-makers and staff cannot unite to continue creating these monumental productions. We remain committed to the safety and support of all the artists, crew, and staff who have been deeply impacted. 

If you are a current ticket holder for one or both of these productions, please hang tight. We will contact you soon regarding your ticket options. If you have immediate questions, you can email boxoffice@pasadenaplayhouse.org, and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please be patient with us, as our Box Office is currently closed, and our team will work hard to answer all of your questions.  

Most importantly, our thoughts are with everyone in our community. Please know that we are thinking of you and that Pasadena Playhouse is committed to doing all we can to support the people of Pasadena, Altadena, and Los Angeles, who have done so much to support us.
