(mostly)musicals returned to Upstairs at Vitello's on Monday 1.8.18 to kick off 2018 - and the start of their 5th season - with their 27th edition, songsforaHAPPYnewyear, a night of all HAPPY songs! Scroll down for photos of the performances.

Led by 3-time Ovation Award winner Gregory Nabours at the piano, the evening featured a stellar array of talent including Broadway's Kerry O'Malley (INTO THE WOODS, WHITE CHRISTMAS, ON A CLEAR DAY...), Cornelius Jones Jr. (THE LION KING, THOU SHALT NOT), Michael-Leon Wooley (LITTLE SHOP, 5 GUYS NAMED MOE, THE MUSIC MAN), and Sharon McNight (Tony nominee, STARMITES). The show also featured favorite LA performers, including Alli Miller (Cherry Poppins), Amanda Kruger (HOME ALONE at Rockwell), Domonique Paton (FROZEN: Live at the Hyperion), Katy Harvey (Ariel in THE LITTLE MERMAID at Cupcake Theatre), Marc Ginsburg (world premiere: LEVI!), Mark Jacobson (I AM FRANKIE on Nickelodeon), Matthew Valle (world premiere SKULLDUGGERY at Sacred Fools), Randy Guiaya (NEXT TO NORMAL at East West Players), and more - plus Jessica Reiner-Harris and Victor E. Chan (original Crush in FINDING NEMO: The Musical) who were in the very FIRST edition on 1.8.14 (back at Don't Tell Mama in WeHo)!

They sang songs new and old from (mostly)musicals - the only rule was NO SAD SONGS! The main show was followed by an open mic afterparty hosted by Mark Jacobson, featuring even more local talent.
