GIVE MY REGARDS...THE BEST OF BROADWAY! A COMPETITION LIKE NO OTHER-SEPTEMBER 14 AT 9:45 PM

During the spring of 2020, when the world went on pause, Scott Coulter's Spot-On Entertainment started a search for a rising star. After receiving video submissions from around the globe a panel of judges narrowed the field to a Top Twenty. Those twenty contestants were then mentored by Broadway/cabaret stars from the faculty at Spot-On Arts Academy. From that group of twenty performers, a Top Six was chosen by a celebrity panel of judges, including Kate Flannery ("The Office"), Phillip Johnson Richardson (Hamilton, Little Voice), Christina Bianco (Funny Girl), Gerry McIntyre (Spamilton), celebrity artist Justin 'Squigs' Robertson, and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and recording artist Steven Brault.

Now, with Scott Coulter serving as the night's host, the Top Six all journey to New York City for the concert event that will determine who will be declared the first "Give My Regards" Rising Star and win an appearance with the Pacific Symphony in Orange County, California.

Come join finalists D'Marreon Alexander (Detroit, MI), Chelle Denton (San Mateo, CA), Tyler Evick (Nashville, TN), Natasha Hoeberigs (London, U.K.), Caleb Mitchell (Murfreesboro, TN), and Veronica Stern (Pelham, NY) as they share their gifts alongside a cast of Broadway/cabaret performers for the contest's exciting conclusion!
