When you can’t go to Broadway, you find a way to bring it to you.

And that’s exactly what Bird Key Yacht Club did on Jan. 28. The sold-out event included a performance by the Atlantic City Boys following a cocktail hour and dinner. The dining room was decorated to give off a diner theme, and each table had glow sticks and a glass Coca-Cola bottle in the center. Guests enjoyed short ribs and sundaes as part of the dinner menu.

Guests enjoyed seafood cocktails as part of their dinner.
