Broadway on the ‘Condor’

The Great White Way was on the great blue wave when Condor Express owner Hiroko Benko hosted her eighth annual Broadway musical cruise at the weekend for more than 70 guests.

The two-hour coastal cruise featured soprano Deborah Bertling, now president of the Community Arts Music Association, and baritone Brian Hotchkin, accompanied by pianist Renée Hamaty, singing works from New York and London’s great composers, including Rodgers and Hammerstein and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, with works such as Phantom of the Opera, The King and I, and Carousel.

Among the guests enjoying the sound waves on the ocean waves were Maria McCall, Michael Cook, Greg Gorga, Sigrid Toye, and Dirk Brandts.
