Show Choir: The Musical received four-stars from Time Out New York and the Best Ensemble award from the 2007 FringeNYC. Show Choir: The Musical is an original two act musical comedy by Mark McDaniels and Donald Garverick.  The show takes place in the not too distant future where a high school show choir, The Symphonic Sensations, have become a national phenomenon adored by millions. Told through the framework of a fictional biography TV program entitled "Beyond the Facade," Show Choir: The Musical explores America's obsession with pop culture as the Sensations alternately scale the highs and lows of American Celebrity.

Cast members scheduled to appear (but subject to change): Elizabeth Kensek, TJ O'Connell, Yolanda Batts, Don Whitmore, Dena Cubbin, Christian Maurice, Julie Galorenzo, Ryan Overberg, Emily Matheson, Brian Michael Flanagan and Sacha Iskra

The After Party is hosted by Brandon Cutrell and Alysha Umphress, featuring Lisa Asher with Ray Fellman at the piano.  The After Party begins at 10:30PM tomorrow, Friday October 26 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at The West Bank Café (407 West 42nd St). Admission is free.
