Everyone is welcome, says Maggie Cady, General Manager.In our 5 seasons so far, weve had many people who have never sung in front ofpeople before. The audiences are so welcoming, that even people who areeliminated early have a great time!
The show often sells out, so many people get Season Ticketsfor the whole run.
Its great seeing people who come every week, says Cady.We have couples, groups of friends, and parents with their children who makeit a night out together each week.
Cady says there are still plenty of tickets available whowant to get in on the fun.
