It has been such a pleasure to work with Jenna on this project, it was wonderful to work with somebody with such a fantastic voice and such a big heart."

In the pack there are a number of our songs to choose from in different keys with sheet music and backing tracks. Simply choose which one you'd like to cover then follow the instructions on the website to send us your entry".

The entries will be judged by a panel of Broadway and West End performers. The winner will receive theatre tickets, an overnight stay in New York, and a recording session.
