Musical Theatre Karaoke
Tue, 3 Feb 2009, 12:42 amDo 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 Fall Out Boy?
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.
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, Grease, Mamma Mia, We Will Rock You, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Sound of Music;
As well as songs from: Rocky Horror, Wizard of Oz, A Chorusline, 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, thongs or running shoes/sneakers.
The next few Musical Theatre Karaoke nights will be:
February 5
March 5
April 2
May 7
Hope to see lots of new faces soon!

Timing
Sat, 7 Mar 2009, 02:08 pmIt seems that timing is of the utmost importance with this event.
If you feel that, after a fun evening at one of the Thursday evening theatre performances, you might like to pop along and exercise your lack-lustre vocal chords - remember to phone ahead to make sure the "Musical Theatre Karaoke" group are in fact still in attendance at the Ferrara Bar.
It tends to get a little embarrassing for both publican and customer alike when a small group of would be vocalists turn up to find out the people they were hoping to catch up with have turned in their microphones and gone home.
Ah Well, maybe next time...... (at least Fast Eddy's welcomed the patronage)
*Be nice to your tech's - or they'll turn out the lights and go home.*
