On Monday, May 5, 2008, Broadway's hottest performers were singing their hearts out at Roundabout's first annual Broadway Karaoke!
250 of New York's up-and-coming leaders from all industries mixed and mingled with some of Broadway's brightest stars at Arena, the state-of-the-art nightclub in Times Square. Hosted by Seth Rudetsky, guests enjoyed an evening of incredible performances by some of the most renowned singers and actors on Broadway lending their vocal talents to pop favorites in a comfortable and unique setting. All were treated to a full open bar, passed hors d'oeuvres, and a slew of incredible sponsors with spectacular giveaways.
Guests were invited to show off their own vocal chops during the Open Mic portion, where guests chose song selections from the last 6 decades.
All proceeds went to the acclaimed Education Programs of Roundabout Theatre Company, one of the country's top not-for-profit theatres.
