Broadway rockers Justin Guarini, Deborah Cox, Alex Brightman, and Tony Vincent, are set to rock out at Clear Channel Spectacolor's annual CELEBRITY KARAOKE: AN EPIC EVENING WITH THE STARS tonight, October 5, 2015 at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at Hard Rock Cafe New York in Times Square (1501 Broadway).

Hosted and co-produced by Guarini, CELEBRITY KARAOKE will kick off New York Comic Con's New York Super Week and gives fans the opportunity to perform with a live karaoke band alongside Broadway's brightest stars.

Tickets are $40 for VIP floor seats and $25 for general admission, and are now on sale via TicketWeb here.

Justin Guarini took second place in the first season of "American Idol" before launching a career in music, television, and Broadway. Currently starring in Dallas Theatre Center's Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical, Guarini made his Broadway debut in 2011 in American Idiot followed by Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Romeo & Juliet, and Wicked.

Grammy nominated, chart-topping singer/songwriter Deborah Cox starred on Broadway as the title character in Aida and as Lucy in the 2013 revival of Jekyll & Hyde. As an R&B artist, Cox has five albums to her name, including Destination Moon and the single "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here."

Alex Brightman will soon star as Dewey Finn in the world premiere of the Broadway musical, School of Rock. Brightman has previously been seen on Broadway in Big Fish, Matilda, Wicked, and Glory Days.

Tony Vincent is best known for his appearance on NBC's "The Voice." His two solo albums with EMI Records produced six #1 Billboard radio singles. On Broadway, Vincent has appeared in RENT, Jesus Christ Superstar, and as St. Jimmy in Green Day's American Idiot.

A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Random Acts Org, a US-based, global nonprofit that strives to conquer the world, one random act of kindness at a time. The organization inspires individuals and groups to come together and help improve the overall well-being of their communities. Random Acts will use this opportunity to benefit Community Soup Kitchen and Outreach Center and will accept non-perishable food donations at Celebrity Karaoke.

Tony Award-winning producer Jayne Baron Sherman (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Tony Award nominees Dan Markley (Something Rotten) and Carl Levin (Rock of Ages) will judge the performances. At the end of the night, the judges will select one winner who will receive an incredible prize package to help further their goals of stardom. The package will include a private voice lesson with Justin Guarini, a sit down with the panel of Broadway producers, and a headshot session with NYC photographer Nathan Johnson. Additionally, the winning performance will be broadcast on one of Clear Channel Spectacolor's billboards in Times Square with full color and audio.
