Lullabies of Broadway - Open Mic

Auckland's only musical theatre open mic night is coming up!

Now is the time to:
• Try out new songs on a supportive audience
• Practice an audition song before the big day
• Belt out a number you've always loved but wouldn't be considered right for (just to prove everyone wrong!)
• Mix and mingle with all the musical theatre friends you already know!
• Come and hear the latest and freshest talent from around Auckland - including sneak previews of cast members from upcoming musicals.

Guest MC: TBC - watch this space...
Guest Pianist: the fabulous James Doy!

Gold coin donations in the open mic jug will be taken as the evening progresses - Please don't be stingy with this - we have an amazing calibre of pianists and they will be giving up their time to be there for you and your songs.

Remember: Dot's happy hour from 4pm to 8pm on Sunday.
Open Mic starts at 8 - goes till late! Please note the new 8pm start: grab some dinner beforehand or order in pizza while you watch!

There are only so many "Defying Gravitys" and "Anthems" we can hear in one night so please have more than one song prepared. It is entirely up to the discretion of the evening's MC but most likely we will keep a once per set limit on the more popular musical theatre songs.

And that's it, see you on Sunday.

Roughly 10 - 12 slots available per 45 min set dependant on song duration.
If we run out of time in a set, whoever hasn't sung is at the top of the next set's list. (If this occurs in the last set - you will be first up the next mic night).

Registration is always half an hour before each set and is only for that set. We will be operating on a first come first registered basis.

One song per person per set. The aim is to give everyone a go and to support all our performers, we want to see new talent and new songs! (Unless we find ourselves in the boat of having extra song slots to fill but puh-lease this is musical theatre people we are talking about)

All you need is sheet music! A live pianist will be there for you to play your song. However I'm sure they won't mind a break if you have a backing track on CD or your own backing band - make sure you mention this to the MC when you register.

This event is fun for most of us - however we do need to pay the lovely pianist who agrees to give up 4 hours of their time to play for us. To this end, we ask that everyone (whether you are a performer or an audience member) contribute (at the very least) a gold coin donation to the open mic "pot" to help keep this event running.

Our website is soon to be up and running - and we'll keep you posted till then.
