Broadway stars giving away chance to sing on stage with them
Five Broadway stars are giving away the chance to join them on stage in Neil Berg’s 100 Years of Broadway at Jackson Community College’s Potter Center on Nov. 22.
Neil Berg’s 100 Years of Broadway concert features Broadways stars of “Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables,” “Jekyll and Hyde,” “Fiddler on The Roof,” “Wonderful Town,” “Tarzan,” “Cats,” “The Woman in White,” “It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues,” singing the finest hit songs of the last 100 years of Broadway musicals.
Up to two winners and up to 10 runners-up will be selected by the show’s panel of industry experts (including producers, singers, and managers, as well as Neil Berg himself).
To submit, contestants should upload a 90- to 120-second video clip of themselves singing a Broadway favorite to YouTube, MySpace, or Facebook, and then go to www.singingwiththebroadwaystars.com and select your city. Fill out the submission form and send them a link to your video by 5 p.m. Nov. 13. JTV, Jackson’s cable access station, will be offering their studio and staff expertise to assist individuals in taping auditions at their studio beginning at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, which they will then be uploading to JTV’s YouTube site. The panel will judge the audition tapes to decide the lucky winners who will get the chance to show off their singing skills in front of their family and friends with five Broadway stars and an all-star New York band. Winners will also receive tickets for their family and friends to see their Broadway debut.
Winners will be announced on Nov. 16, and will receive notification by e-mail or phone.
