For
anyone who has ever dreamed of being discovered and making it big on
Broadway, Wednesday July 17 could be that lucky day! One cannot simply
wish upon a star. What you need to do is get to SoNo (South Norwalk)
Plaza and participate in So Ya Wanna Be a Broadway Star? Competition sponsored by New Paradigm Theatre Company in partnership with The SoNo Concert Series.
The
July 17 competition will be an American Idol-style competition.
Contestants, ages 8 through adult, are invited to sing any Broadway song
of their choosing. A professional piano accompanist will be provided.
Contestants must bring their own sheet music. Judges will select who
from among the contestants will have the opportunity of performing later
that night for the SoNo audience!
The
competition takes place between 3 - 4pm, and will be limited to the
first 30 contestants who arrive at 3:00pm. All the judges are Broadway
performers from the New Paradigm Theatre and will provide all the
contestants with helpful feedback and advice.
Three
winning contestants will be invited to join the other Broadway
performers to be part of that evening's SoNo Concert Series Disney Magic Broadway featuring Bret Shuford (Broadway: Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! and Kristin Huffman (Executive Director New Paradigm Theatre, former Miss Ohio and runner-up Miss America, Broadway: Company Tour - Phantom of the Opera), and the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra.
The three winners will have the opportunity to be on stage and sing
with the Broadway cast and Youth Board members of New Paradigm Theatre.
