Metropolitan Room to Broadcast Guinness World Record Attempt Worldwide

Metropolitan Room's Guinness World Record attempt for Longest Variety Show to be broadcasted LIVE throughout the World with LIVAMP.

The Metropolitan Room has teamed with LIVAMP in order to knock down geographic boundaries whilst attempting to break the Guinness World record for LONGEST VARIETY SHOW which will involve an stampede of performers performing for 60 continuous hours.

From 7pm on Thursday January 1, to 7am on Sunday January 4 200 individual acts, 20 emcees, and a battalion of musicians, technicians and designers will take the stage in this unprecedented confluence of talent that will span six categories -- music; burlesque; comedy/spoken word; drag; theatre/opera; magic/puppetry.

This is not just a milestone for the NYC Cabaret community but also a milestone for live entertainment around the world and now LIVAMP has made it possible for the whole world can be involved and witness this great triumphant entertainment spectacle.

LIVAMP brings high quality live broadcasts of concerts to audiences worldwide. They focus on smaller, intimate venues in order to better capture the local taste of the various markets and to provide much needed exposure to up-and-coming musicians.

There are thousands of high quality smaller venues around the world's greatest music cities and millions of songs per year that disappear after each performance. LIVAMP seeks to make live music from great local musicians as commonplace as recorded music.

Day passes for "The Longest Variety Show Ever" cost $25 per person, or $60 for a three-day pass. The club offers a complimentary beverage with each ticket purchased. There will be no food or beverage minimums throughout the marathon, except for the legendary Marilyn Maye, whose "By Request" (playing Fri & Sat at 7pm) requires a separate ticket purchase ($35 plus a two drink minimum). For reservations call 212/206-0440 or to order online visit www.metropolitanroom.com

Since 2006, the Nightlife and Bistro Award-winning Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street, has been a welcoming home for innovation and for accommodating a range of musical and artistic styles. Stephen Holden of The New York Times has called it "the best of New York's smaller clubs."
