Liverpool Performing Arts Students Hired For UK's First Ever SINGING WAITERS American Diner

LIVERPOOL is renowned on the world stage for producing some of the most talented pop stars, bands and stars of stage and screen from the performing arts. So it is no surprise that 16 of Liverpool's most talented singers have been auditioned to star and perform at the UK's first ever dedicated "Singing Waiters" American diner to the heart of Liverpool.

MULHOLLAND bar and restaurant in Ropewalks, is the latest bar and restaurant concept devised by Signature Living, the Liverpool based hotel and restaurant operator. Mulholland - which is located in the award wining film and movie themed hotel Arthouse - will throw its doors open in full theatrical style when it launches on Wednesday 24th October 2018.

Modelled along the same lines as the famous Ellen Stardust diner in New York, every member of the waiting team is a singer and performer. Mulholland bar and restaurant will serve up exciting movie and musical themed dishes and delights, with show stopping singing waiters for the ultimate musical dining experience.

With a family friendly menu of classic American food, diners can experience the mouth watering guilty pleasures of wraps, bagels, pizza, hot dogs and much more for the ultimate Broadway style diner experience.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - coloured nachos, a tasty slice of the Spice Girls Pizza to the mouthwatering Justin Bieberque style shredded chicken breast with the famous Mulholland Bieberque sauce. Each dish comes with its own unique tongue in cheek power ballad, film theme tune or musical chorus line. With a play on musical themes expect anything from Cajun Feel The Love Tonight - Don't Cry For Me Margherita - A Tuna Matata - You Cant Stop The Beef - Supercalifragilisticexpiavocado - Park This Way to Good Morning Baltimore.

Mulholland also brings it's own tasty slice of the Spice Girls with the Mulholland Spice Girls Pizza's including Baby Slice - Scary Slice - Posh Slice - Sporty Slice and of course no pizza can be complete without the fiery Ginger Slice! Deserts and sweets are a real treat with a Total Eclipse Of The Tart - Hopelessly Devoted To Goo and Your'e The Scone That I Want! Each sizzling dish is topped off with a dazzling power ballad to a classical Disney style chorus line sung by one of the amazing Mulholland singing waiters.

Each of the singing waiters were hand picked and auditioned by Signature Living MD Kris Mochrie. All have with either performed in musical theatre shows and stage productions or are currently studying at various performing arts colleges across Liverpool including LIPA, Liverpool Theatre School, RARE, John Moore's University, Van Netten school of performing arts and MAD.

Commenting ahead of the launch MD Kris Mochrie said;

"We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing our cast of singing waiters to the Mulholland dining experience in what we believe is the UK's first ever dedicated singing waiters diner. All of our waiting staff are all local performing arts and drama students at various performing arts academies and colleges throughout the city. It's truly amazing that we have such amazing and talented homegrown stars in our city and coming through our doors to entertain and perform for our diners.

Mulholland will definitely bring some Broadway glamour and stardust along with musical theatre, power ballads and chorus lines to the city. Mulholland will be based along similar lines to the famous Ellen Stardust diner in New York where many of it's singing waiters have starred in almost every major Broadway and major off-Broadway musical from the likes of the Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, South Pacific, Wicked, Godspell and Lion King. Many of their former singing waiters have also gone on to become major broadway stars.

We think this is the perfect way to promote our amazing performing arts talent across the city. From famous movie soundtracks, to the very best 80's style power ballads and Disney hits, our 16 singing waiters will give dazzling performances set against a backdrop of an authentic New York Broadway style diner experience.

Whats really exciting about Mulholland is that diners will also get to see some of the future music and theatre stars of tomorrow who may well go on to tread the boards of the West End and maybe one day Broadway..."

Mulholland bar and restaurant is situated in the award winning film themed Arthouse Hotel. Mixing retro Hollywood and Broadway musical styles with a party vibe, the Arthouse hotel is renowned for its movie inspired and themed rooms.

From the Alfred Hitchcock classic's of Birds & Vertigo to Stage Fright, Mary Poppins to Chicago. Boldly decorated rooms recreate the pop art film era of Andy Warhol's Chelsea Girls, Marilyn Monroe and 15 Minutes Of Fame, much of which gained him so much notoriety after his death.

Mulholland bar and restaurant has its press preview opening night on Wednesday 24th October and opens to the public on Thursday 25th October 2018.
