The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory is proud to announce that its production of Cabaret has been selected by Broadway San Diego as one of the top five musicals of the season. In addition, Bruno Dominguez, who played the emcee, and Katie Moreno, who stared as Sally Bowles, were named Top 10 Best Actor and Top 10 Best Actress, respectfully.

The full cast of Cabaret will perform at the Balboa Theatre on Sunday, May 25 to compete for top honors. The winners of Best Actor and Best Actress will go on to the “Jimmy” awards in New York City on June 23 at the Minskoff Theatre on Broadway.

This is CoSA’s third nomination for Best Musical, according to Barbara Wolf, CoSA Musical Theatre and Drama Conservatory Director. In 2014, CoSA won for its production of “Legally Blonde.”

“We had an amazing team with this show,” said Wolf. “Our choreographers–Gina Sorensen and Lauren Pym–did amazing work on the dances and our designers and musical director made this a remarkable show.”

For Katie Moreno, the chance to play Sally Bowles in “Cabaret” was a dream come true. She says she’s grateful for opportunity to take on the challenging role before leaving CoSA.

“I am beyond excited that the Broadway San Diego Awards team is giving me the opportunity to represent our school as one of their Top 20 finalists,” said Moreno. “I am also so happy that our entire cast and crew were recognized for their hard work and passion to make this show a success.”

Dominguez, who played the emcee, is excited to perform at Balboa Theatre.

“I am incredibly thankful and ecstatic to have the opportunity to attend and perform at the Broadway San Diego Awards,” said Dominguez. “I look forward to giving my all at the show!”

Tickets for the competition on Sunday, May 25 at 6 pm are available at this link.
