So Ya Wanna Be a Broadway Star?




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.  NPT is a nonprofit professional theatre company.  For more information and for appplication forms click here.
