Date Night: Light It Up At Playhouse Square's Keybank Broadway Series

Sometimes a date demands spectacle. Set the tone with Cleveland’s biggest bauble and take a selfie with the GE Chandelier before a night at Playhouse Square’s KeyBank Broadway Series, the seven-show series that brings the Great White Way’s hits to the North Coast. Arrive early to glimpse the murals in each of the interconnected lobbies (the ushers will usually let you take a peek). Then treat your sweetie like a star by ordering up the special concession matching the show’s theme, such as the small pies in jars at Waitress made by the same Manhattan bakery that provides pastries for the Broadway show. “We try to replicate as much as possible the experience you’d get in a Broadway theater,” says Stephanie Keefer, Playhouse Square marketing and public relations manager. 1501 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-241-6000, broadway.playhousesquare.org   After: At chic hotel hotspot Parker’s Downtown, ace the final act with a Last Word cocktail, a zingy mix of gin, lime, Chartreuse and Luxardo. 2000 E.
