Clear Channel Spectacolor and New York Comic Con will kick off New York Super Week with the second annual "Celebrity Karaoke: A Epic Evening with the Stars," Monday, October 5, 2015 at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at Hard Rock Café Times Square (1501 Broadway). Hosted and co-produced by Justin Guarini, currently starring in the worldpremiere musical comedy Moonshine: That Hee Haw Musical, "Celebrity Karaoke" gives Comic Con and Broadway fans the opportunity to perform with a live karaoke band alongside Broadway's brightest stars. Chart-topping R&B singer/songwriter Deborah Cox will lead the roster of stars with additional performers to be announced soon. Tickets are $40 for VIP floor seats and $25 for general admission, and are now on sale via TicketWeb HERE.

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.

"Clear Channel Spectacolor is proud to once again host the "Celebrity Karaoke" as part of New York Super Week," said Harry Coghlan, president, Clear Channel Outdoor-New York. "We have a stellar line-up of performers and we'll be on the edge of our seats to see what talent is discovered that night. Additionally we are so pleased to partner with RandomActs.org and look forward including them as our charitable partner."

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, a work session with a top NYC casting director, 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.

To enter, aspiring singers should record a performance of themselves singing their favorite karaoke song (Broadway and/or rock) and upload it to YouTube. Video submissions should be under three minutes and submitted HERE.

Submissions will be accepted through Monday, September 28, 2015. BroadwayWorld.com will select two guaranteed slots from the submissions. All contestants must be able to provide their own transportation to New York City's Hard Rock Café in Times Square on October 5, 2015.
