Have you ever dreamt of being on an official cast recording of a musical? How about one with Broadway's Taylor Louderman, Brandon Victor Dixon, and TV's Tristin Mays? Or imagined yourself as MacGyver? Now's your chance to take a shot at doing all of those at once... Because MacGyver is not only a classic TV show, it's now a musical! After a very successful run of "MacGyver The Musical" earlier this year, we're recording an album of the songs from the show. And all that's missing now is... you!
And just as MacGyver is not like any other action hero, "MacGyver The Musical" is not like any other musical. Because in every performance we would cast the lead of MacGyver right out of the audience! Before each show we held a brief audition and, with their applause, let the audience decide who would be our MacGyver that night. Simple as that. And we had Macs of all ages and genders.
So, in keeping with that spirit, we're now looking for someone to sing the part of MacGyver on the album, and we're running a contest to find them-- except this time, our "audience" is the entire country. And the winner will be flown to New York City on our dime for a recording session-and get paid for it! Sound interesting? Then read on-- all the entry details are below. Because now we all know there's a MacGyver in everyone, and anyone can be MacGyver!

Round 1

Then sing as much or as little of your chosen song as you'd like-the important thing is that you show us what you can do. You can sing a cappella or to a karaoke track-your choice!
