Creation Entertainment, celebrating 55 Years of Touring Fan Conventions, is proud to present A Salute to Broadway: The Most Musical Fan Convention Ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The curtain rises on our premiere event on June 27-28, 2026 (with special events and pre-registration on Friday, June 26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a fan of Broadway, like we are, this show is going to be a real-life dream come true.  We\u2019re filling the weekend with sensational guests, fantastic performances and presentations, cool on-stage competitions for Trivia and Cosplay, and lots of singing, laughs, and surprises presented in a theatrical setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLUS, our host venue is the world-class Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa, which we think could be the most gorgeous venue ever! The perfect uniquely exquisite place is smoke and casino-free for our premiere gathering, please link here<\/a> for hotel reservations at special lower than normal Broadway convention rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For our new friends, some important notes: At all Creation events, we do not sell one more ticket than we have seats for in the main theatre, which means everyone sees all the daytime events and stars with no waiting or worrying to get a seat.  It also means our events are not overcrowded and with our tiered priced admission tickets, attendees can pay only for the benefits they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
