Whether you decide to sing or cheer on your fellow music theatre lovers, Broadway Open Mic all but guarantees to be a grand ole time. All tickets include entry to the event, two complimentary beverages, complimentary light bites courtesy of Big Onion Hospitality (Hopsmith), access to Bramble’s full service cash-less bar, and the ability to enter raffle full of exciting, purposefully built prize packages.

Singer spots ARE limited and there will not be an option to sign up to sing a full song on the day! However, if you decide to attend as a spectator, fret not, there is still MUCH FUN to be had. Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to “nominate” any other attendee to sing a truncated version of one of a selection of Broadway showstopper hits with a donation of $20. The nominee can choose to sing OR donate to pass on their nomination or nominate someone else.

Tickets start at $30 and are on-sale now! Join the vibe get yours today. GET TICKETS NOW
