RBV Cast and Crew Win for Singin’ in the Rain at 10th Annual San Diego Broadway Awards

VISTA, Calif. – Rancho Buena Vista High School is extremely pleased and proud to announce that our drama department competed this past weekend and won for their musical “Singin’ in the Rain.” They were one of three finalists for musicals in San Diego County schools in the 10th Annual Broadway San Diego Award. They competed against Canyon Crest Academy for RENT: School Edition, Cathedral Catholic High School Amélie: Teen Edition, and schools from around San Diego County.

Three of Rancho Buena Vista’s students were nominated as part of the Top 20 performers in San Diego, and one of our Stage Managers helped run the production. Students spend a week after school in San Diego preparing for this competition. The Top 20 rehearsed two songs, one from the nominated production, and an ensemble opener and closing performance. In addition, students get the chance to perform at the prestigious Balboa Theatre for the opportunity to compete in New York City.
RBV’s senior Ezra Oshima won the best dancer award.

Mackenzie Scott shared, “I remember competing on that stage when I attended RBV and know that this is a first for us to win best musical in San Diego County.” Mackenzie follows in the footsteps of her father, now retired RBV Drama Teacher, to ensure his legacy continues. This past week our RBV cast and crew joined dozens of other finalists across the county for a week-long experience that includes rehearsals, workshops, lectures, field trips, and one-on-one coaching sessions, designed to prepare the students for The Jimmy Awards -presented on Broadway at a Nederlander Theatre.

As some of our cast and crew prepare for graduation on June 7, 2023, we wanted to recognize their efforts in making history at The Ranch.
