Musical Theatre Karaoke

Do you find yourself belting "Defying Gravity" or "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" or "Climb Every Mountain" at the top of your lungs? Do you prefer the stylings of Rogers and Hammerstein or Sondheim over Britney Spears or Justin Beiber? Ferrara Karaoke Bar, located on Milligan St in the city, knows there are musical theatre fans out there looking for a venue to show off the songs they spend hours preparing in their bedroom. You may not have even seen the musical, but you know every lyric, every character, every original cast member's biography. Head down to Ferrara Karaoke Bar on the first Thursday of every month for a chance to sing all your favourites in a fun environment. Being a karaoke bar, Ferrara supplies the music (lyrics will appear on the screen, but it's not like you need them anyway!) all you need to do is turn up and wow the crowds. Musical Theatre Thursdays are a great chance for cast members to come along after rehearsals and join together in song - what better way to bond as a group? It's also a great opportunity to meet like-minded theatre folk and chat about all things musical. For those of you who have become regulars, thanks for your commitment to make this such a fun night out. If you still haven't made it to Ferrara Karaoke Bar for a night of Showtune favourites, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Can't get a group together? You only need to bring one friend, if any, because there will be plenty of other Musical Theatre fans who know all the chorus parts to back you up! Got a show? That's fine, come after, we won't judge if you're still wearing eyeliner or have your hair up in curls Got rehearsals? What better cast bonding activity than singing together after your rehearsal?! Got work early the next day? The bar is open from 8pm, so get there early, sing some favourites, and be home in time to get your 8 hours of shut-eye! The bar has quite an extensive repetoire of songs, but are still looking to build on this and any suggestions to staff will be taken into consideration. Musicals include: Wicked, Rent, Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors, Avenue Q, The Boy From Oz, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Grease, Mamma Mia, We Will Rock You, High School Musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Sound of Music; As well as songs from: Rocky Horror, Wizard of Oz, A Chorusline, Oliver, Oklahoma, Cabaret, South Pacific, Meet Me in St Louis, Singing in the Rain ... with more to come! Ferrara is open from 8pm, and entry and singing are free to anyone above the age of 18. A pretty strict dress code does apply: No shorts, singlets, work denim, thongs or running shoes/sneakers. Hope to see lots of new faces!
