Jessie really did a 5 star job. We were lucky to have a 2 person tour, and we got the works. Being Broadway fans ourselves, she pulled out all the stops and went very deep into the history of theaters and culture of the entire area. She also managed to get us in a perfect place for the Sunset Blvd walk to see everything. Finally, the rehearsal and development space that ended the tour gave us a real feeling for what it was like to be in the business itself. Worth every penny and then some.
