LA’s Next Great Stage Star Competition® to Include Classics, New Music, and More
The competition has launched the careers of more than fifty rising musical theatre artists, many of whom have been cast in top regional theatre shows, Broadway national tours, Las Vegas productions, and network television shows. Eight of the contestants have also made their Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts.
All contestants will sing each week and will receive feedback from a panel of industry professionals. In addition to the panel of judges (which includes LA based producers, directors and casting directors), audience members will cast their votes in the categories of vocal and acting ability, stage presence, and personality. The musical focus changes weekly with a number of musical theatre styles featured so if you’d like to be in the audience, book your reservations now.
