Don’t miss our next show, Sunday, Feb. 8th! – MORE INFO

Our first showcase yesterday went just fantastic, with so much talent showing up, and a great audience to take it all in!

The open mic winner was Allan Harris, with Adam Spiegel & Jason Gotay also in the top 3!

Broadway Star, James Barbour (Tale of Two Cities, Urinetown, Beauty and the Beast) showed up to host the second half of the evening and sing two songs for the crowd! In fact, in a “star is born” moment, he asked one of the open mic performers, Jason Watson, to perform with him at one of his upcoming Sardi’s gigs!

Here are some photos of the evening!
