Smash, an original TV series, starring Broadway stars like Megan Hilty, Katherine McPhee, Jeremy Jordan and Christian Borle, revolves around a fictional New York City theater community and specifically the creation of a new Broadway musical. The series features original music as well as covers of Broadway and Pop hits. This Spring, Smash is coming to Broadway! Students will participate in large group and small ensemble musical numbers from the show based on grade and ability. Vocal technique, harmonization and stage presence are taught along with simple movements and theory. All students receive a solo part and participate in a free concert at the end of the session. Students also create a professionally recorded and filmed music video to the song, Broadway Here I Come. The music video is not mandatory, however, students will not be considered for a solo within the video if they cannot attend both dates in full.
Audio Recording will occur on 9/14 following class time at Cellar Studio in Kenosha. Students will receive specific call times based on their part.
Filming will occur on 10/12 @ 3pm following their performance. Location TBD. The typical time frame is 3 hours.
Students in grades 4th-12th who are new to Vocal Academy should prepare an audition video of any song that showcases their vocal abilities and stage presence to be submitted no later than August 16th. K-3rd grade students new to Vocal Academy should expect to sing Happy Birthday a cappella and/or do some individual vocal warm ups with the instructor on the first day of class. These "auditions" are simply to give instructors an introduction to your voice and stage presence. All students will participate in a final concert at the end of the session for family and friends!

Registration and Payment is due prior to the first class/Audition Day and no refunds are given after August 16th.
