Show of the Month Club was the first
theater club of its kind in New England to bring its members closer to the
world’s great performances. Beginning with its very first London Theater tour
back in the late 1950’s, Show of the Month Club
has been offering its members first-class travel at unbeatable prices for over
50 years.
In 1998, Show of the Month expanded to include an exciting new membership
benefit-an exclusive members-only travel club. While the name suggests travel
with a theatrical theme, the reality is that the club offers all kinds of
travel to the world’s most desired destinations, including many that feature
world-class performances and cultural events-always at tremendous savings.
Show of the Month Travel Club is
a subsidiary of New Venture Media Group LLC, which owns and operates Show of the Month Club. The company also publishes Playbill and
Theatrebill—Boston’s leading theater program magazines, and
Panorama, the official Guide to Boston.
“I went to Tuscany and as always it was fabulous. Thanks to the professional, mature and responsible behavior or the escort and the local guide. This was my fifth trip to Europe with Show of the Month Club. It’s become an every six-month thing. Again, thank you for providing these exciting, economic yet incredibly satisfying trips. Please keep up the good work!”

To all of you at SOMC, I want to take a minute to tell you my thoughts about my most recent trip with you. I went to Tuscany the first week in March. As always it was fabulous. Italy is my favorite destination in Europe to begin with and Tuscany was spectacular. This was my fifth trip with SOMC to Europe. I have traveled with either my husband, children, and/or friends on each of these trips and hope to plan the next one for this fall. ( It’s become an every six month thing ) Again thank you for providing these exciting economic yet incredibly satisfying trips. So many of these places I would like to return to but then there are so many new places I want to see. Please keep up the good work!

“I have been to 45 of our 50 states and decided it was time to begin travelling overseas when I turned 50. The Show of the Month Club is how I will be doing this. I have already gone to Paris and have just returned from Rome with my sister, Linda. Both cities are stories unto themselves. I loved both places.”

This trip to Israel was amazing; it was like living the bible stories. I highly recommend it. The tour manager was excellent. He was thoroughly kind and considerate even though he sings off key!

I really enjoyed this trip. Itinerary and drive/guide were excellent. Frank (guide) was always amendable to what we wanted to do outside the itinerary. For only one week in Costa Rica, I came back with a very clear impression.

The Hotel was very clean and comfortable and had a very helpful staff. We did our own sightseeing, tours, metro traveling, but the location of the hotel couldn’t be better! Thanks for the arrangements!

Show of the Month continues to be a spectacular travel bargain. This trip was a wonderful balance of history, scenery, food, architecture and location. We like some combination of guided and free time. The included lunch in Sesimbra was THE most delicious meal we have ever had on a trip anywhere.

This was our first trip with Show of the Month. I was please at how well it was conducted and how easily everything flowed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to love sharing her knowledge with us. The accommodations were lovely and the reception clerks very helpful. We really enjoyed our experience and will do it again.

We just took the London trip over the Thanksgiving Day weekend and I thought you would like to know the hotel and all the arrangements were great. Peggy was so very nice and made sure we were all set and when we got to London, she also made sure everyone had everything they needed. The hotel was very nice and so handy to everything........This was our first time to take a Show of the Month Club trip and we would do it again.

This is our 4th year with you to Florence. This time we had four friends with us. The location of the hotel is perfect as is the service and atmosphere. Alitalia was so much better this time than in previous years…the AirBus is actually comfortable! I have recommended your tours without qualification and will continue to do so. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

I have been delighted with my two trips to Italy with SOMC. Both were outstanding in every way. I have recommended the Travel Club to everyone as I tell about the trips and show all my pictures. Each group had such nice and pleasant people. The size of each group also made it more enjoyable for touring and dining. I enjoy going through your booklet and turning down pages for my next trip.

I enjoyed my tour and it is due to our tour guide, Daniela. She went out of her way when our flight was delayed and she picked us up personally. Every day she was a welcome sight with her bubbly personality and historical knowledge. It was a pleasure to travel with this group.

“My husband and I have traveled to Italy, on 3 different occasions, through Show of the Month Club. We cannot say enough about this wonderful club. We could not afford to travel to Europe if it wasn’t for Show of the Month. The accommodations that are provided are excellent. Keep up the good work.”

“I just returned from your trip to Paris. It was fantastic! Because this was my first trip with Show of the Month Travel Club, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about the reasonable rates. But the trip more than lived up to its billing. This trip offered the best aspects of a tour by getting spectacular rates, taking care of all the things that make travel difficult, such as tickets, accommodations, baggage, etc., while providing the freedom to do what you want. It was also very nice to have the option to take guided tours. I took the one to Versailles and it was excellent.... Kudos to Show of the Month Club! I would definitely sign up for another trip. In fact, I’m on your Web site now to see what’s coming up next.”

It was a wonderful experience and I loved every minute of it. Puglia was filled with delightful surprises and every day was special. I understand now why this place is truly the undiscovered jewel of Italy.
