NYMF Broadway Idol 2007 Final Round on Oct 5

Three finalists - Auri Marcus, George Psomas and Isabel Santiago - will compete for the title and their very own Ars Nova concert in the final round of NYMF's "Broadway Idol" this Friday, October 5.

The three contestants earned their places in the final by wowing the full house crowd at Stitch Bar & Lounge last Friday with their best rock songs from Broadway shows.  Celebrity judges Anthony Rapp, Jose Llana and Mandy Gonzalez provided commentary and feedback to the contestants, before the decision of who would move on to the finals was turned over to the audience, via Verizon Wireless text message voting.

The theme for this Friday's final round is "Star to Be," where each contestant will sing one song from a Broadway show pre-Oklahoma and one song from a Broadway show post-Hair.  Andrea McArdle will again host the evening, and the panel of celebrity judges on hand to offer feedback to the contestants and audience will consist of Manoel Felciano, Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Lonny Price.

The event begins at 10PM, and the competition is set to start at 11PM.

"Broadway Idol" is part of the NYMF @ Nite party series and has taken place over three consecutive Friday evenings at 10PM at Stitch Bar and Lounge (247 W 37th Street).  Christopher D. Littlefield serves as the event's Musical Director, and Jess McLeod directs.

Stitch Bar and Lounge is located at 247 West 37th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues.  Admission is $10 at the door, which includes one drink token. For more information, visit www.nymf.org.
