The Pasadena Showcase House
01.03.24
The Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts proudly presents the 2024 Showcase House of Design, featuring the historic Potter Daniels Manor. This architectural gem, built in 1902 and transformed in 1922 into an English Tudor Revival Style estate, opens its gates for a spectacular home tour from April 21 to May 19. For $65, the Golden Ticket grants access to this design marvel on any day during the public viewing period.
Alongside the Golden Ticket, exclusive Insider Packages are now available, offering tiered pricing and unique behind-the-scenes experiences. Insider Package #1 combines the Golden Ticket with an invitation to the pre-renovation Empty House Party in January. Insider Package #2, the ultimate all-access option, includes all of Package #1's offerings plus an exclusive invite to the Premiere Night Gala, a highlight event in Pasadena's social calendar, held in the spring.
The Potter Daniels Manor, a Pasadena City Landmark, has been a favorite among Hollywood location scouts, appearing in films and TV shows like "Foul Play," "Bachelor Party," and "Falcon Crest." After the Empty House Party, a team of designers will have four months to transform the estate's 30 indoor and outdoor spaces, ready to wow over 25,000 visitors.
The Showcase also features "The Shops at Showcase," offering boutique shopping, dining options, and live music on select days. This annual event is the main fundraiser for the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, a volunteer-run nonprofit. In the 2022-23 program year, they donated over $900,000 to music and arts organizations, contributing over $25 million since its inception.
Tickets for the 2024 Pasadena Showcase House of Design are available at pasadenashowcase.org/tickets, starting at $65 per person. This is an unparalleled opportunity to experience design excellence while supporting the arts in a historic setting.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts proudly presents "Hopelessly Devoted: The Music of Olivia Newton-John," a three-night tribute from January 11-13, 2024, at 7:30 pm in the Samueli Theater. This special event features a talented ensemble of Broadway veterans, including Jessica Hendy, Kelli Rabke, David Burnham, Blaine Krauss, and Scott Coulter, accompanied by pianist John Boswell.
They come together to honor the memory of the much-loved singer and actress Olivia Newton-John, who passed away in 2022. The ensemble will perform a selection of Olivia’s greatest hits, celebrating her life and illustrious career.
Olivia Newton-John's 60-year journey in entertainment saw her earn four Grammy® Awards and chart fifteen Top 10 hits, including five #1 songs. Her fame extended to the film industry, notably with her iconic roles as Sandy in "Grease" and Kira in "Xanadu."
Jessica Hendy, known for her powerful vocals, recently graced the Broadway stage in the revival of "CATS" and has the unique achievement of appearing in its original, national tour, and revival productions. She also shone in The New York Spring Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.
Kelli Rabke's diverse career spans Broadway, where she originated roles in productions by Stephen Schwartz and Andrew Lloyd Webber, to television in “The Young And The Restless.” Her engaging performances have made her a favorite in concerts and the NYC cabaret scene.
David Burnham, remembered for his portrayal of Fiyero in Broadway’s "Wicked," also captivated audiences in South Coast Repertory’s "The Light in the Piazza" after appearing in the same role on Broadway.
Blaine Krauss, lauded for his role in the national tour of "Hamilton," has a rich Broadway history, including playing Simba in "The Lion King" tour and roles in "The Cher Show" and "Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812."
Scott Coulter, celebrated for his resonant voice and magnetic presence, is a five-time MAC Award winner. He returns to the Center after last season’s memorable "The Broadway Hollywood Holiday Soundtrack."
