THE BIG BROADWAY SING-ALONG – TONYS EDITION at The Cabaret Indianapolis

Celebrate Tony Awards weekend with a big Broadway sing-along! Join us for an evening of music, pageantry, and the magic of Broadway show tunes, with local favorites Scott Semester and Sean Baker the Music Maker. Originated by John Mays at Chef Joseph’s, Scott and Sean bring this audience-favorite series at The Cabaret.

The evening of audience participation will include songs, laughs, and surprises – featuring guest appearances by some of Indy’s best voices, including The Cabaret’s Shannon Forsell, Nancy Moore Herndon, Jonathan Studdard, Alexandria Warfield Dycus, and more. This event will also include Tonys trivia – with prizes! – hosted by Indy’s own man-about-theatre, Lou Harry. But the most important voice is YOURS. Grab a drink and pick a song for the whole room to sing together, and then we’ll all sing another…and another…and another! At the Big Broadway Sing-Along, you don’t have to sing well – you just have to sing loud!

Sean Baker the Music Maker has appeared all over Indianapolis as a pianist and vocalist, working with most of the city's finest singers and musicians over the years.

He has performed with the Carmel Symphony Orchestra accompanying Jennie Devoe and Ann Hampton Callaway.
