Open Auditions to be Held for New Music Group Broadway 4

British music producer Jonathan Shalit and Sony/BMG are putting together a new music supergroup called Broadway 4 4 that will aim to do for Broadway classic songs what the group Il Divo has done for opera.  Shalit and Sony/BMG are seeking four men, age 20 to 35, sexy and charismatic with outstanding Broadway legit/pop voices for Broadway 4. 

Auditions have recently been held in London, and on Wednesday, June 6 an open audition will be held in New York, with agent submission auditions on June 7 and 8, and final callbacks June 11.  The small group of singers chosen in New York will be flown to London to gather with the six London finalists.  Those singers will then work with the group's creative team, who will  determine who will be the Broadway 4.   An announcement will be made in late June. Sony/BMG will release Broadway 4's debut cd this fall internationally.

"In the same way that Il Divo, sellers of 18 million cds, perform popular opera songs, Broadway 4 will record the world's best loved Broadway songs," said producer Jonathan Shalit. " We are searching for four amazing young singers from New York and the United Kingdom for the opportunity of a lifetime to create Broadway 4 and help make it an international sensation."

The open audition will be held Wednesday, June 6 at Chelsea Studios at 151 West 26th Street.  Sign-up begins at 9 a.m, with auditions beginning at 10 a.m.  Singers should be 20 to 35 years of age, charismatic, attractive, with strong Broadway legit/pop voices and a love of musical theatre.  Those auditioning should be prepared to sing 16 bars a cappella. 

SONY/BMG Music Entertainment is a global recorded music joint venture with a roster of current artists that includes Il Divo, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Barbra Streisand, as well as a vast catalogue that encompasses some of the most important recordings in history.
