Stars Of WICKED And WAITRESS Join California's Citrus Singers At 'On The Spot'
By: Stephi Wild May. 03, 2018
On The Spot is the only show in New York City that combines the dulcet tones of cabaret, with the frantic hilarity of improv comedy. Weekly guest singers prepare songs and improvisers build a musical book around them. The results bring down the house.
May 21st sees some very special visitors at On The Spot. Fresh from Jesus Christ Superstar: Live! comes Christine Dwyer (Wicked on Broadway and on Tour, Finding Neverland National Tour); and taking a night off from Waitress to join the fray will be Matt DeAngelis (Hair on Broadway). This sees Christine's second visit to On The Spot, and DeAngelis' first. The pair are powerhouses of talent, and have recently set up a talent coaching business in addition to their regular performance work.
But that's not all. In addition to these Broadway stars, On The Spot will also play host to the internationally-renowned Citrus Singers. As part of On The Spot's unique, critically-acclaimed blending of improv and vocal talent, these young performers, on the verge of their graduation, will join the regularly scheduled improvised mayhem. Between their fresh faces; DeAngelis and Dwyer's main-stage prowess; and the skill of On The Spot's unmatched improv team, this evening is not to be missed.
Critics have called the show "spot-on", "fun-filled", "top-notch" and "laugh-out-loud". As well as being "a show that takes 'anything for a laugh' to new heights of bravery!" (NY Theatre Review, Culture Catch, OnStage, Hi! Drama, Ludus NYC). Audiences love it, and singers between shows love coming down between gigs to contribute to the fun.
Appearing on behalf of The Citrus Singers will be Sophia Aguilar, Lizzy Blandino, Audrey Conte, Cassandra Costa, Domenique Dominguez, Dakota Goss, Daniel Imsen, Israel Lacy, Gabriella Musquez, Erica Ruiz, Jacob Rushing, and Harrison Schultz.
This special showcase will be on May 21st, 8pm, at the Broadway Comedy Club. Tickets can be bought at TodayTix. One drink minimum.
