American Musical Theatre LIVE
We promised we would share with you all the videos We promised we would share with you all the videos from Episode III of our virtual open mic from Dear Neighbors! So let’s start this evening at 9 PM with the first video. If you don’t know what is it going to be because you didn’t attend our virtual open mic before Christmas, as usual, the picture is the hint ;)
Have you recovered from our epic virtual open mic? Have you recovered from our epic virtual open mic? We haven't! To help you cope with the Broadway drought, here's a new episode of our "Broadway chez nous" podcast, and this time with not one but TWO very special guests, our open mic hostesses Lauren and Maria-Cristina! They will discuss who's the best: Barbra Streisand or Barbara Cook. Don't miss these 2 being merciless with such an epic repertoire! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/battle-of-the-barb-a-ras-broadway-chez-nous-13/id1486339291?i=1000502705049
⭐⭐⭐We definitely cannot wait until 2021 and ⭐⭐⭐We definitely cannot wait until 2021 and Parisian bars and restaurants to be reopened, so by popular demand, we are doing this: welcome to our FIRST virtual open mic EVER! ⭐⭐⭐ What are going to do? Instead of publishing the Episode III’s (awesome) videos from Dear Neighbors straight into Facebook, first we will broadcast them during this virtual open mic, and we will keep a format as similar as in the physical open mic: Will there be hosts? Yes! There will be old (very crazy) hosts, and new hosts as well, live, in front of the camera, screaming from their living rooms! Will we be able to interact? Yes! Facebook allows the live chat, so please make sure you book the time to be connected during the broadcast! What if I sent a video for Episode III? We are going to e-mail you to explain, but basically, if you want to be on camera and talk about your song, we will probably be able to make it happen Will there be live singing? Not this time, Facebook goes far but not that far yet… Will I be able to watch it on demand? Yes, but it would be awesome if you can be connected live and share the experience with the rest of us! So register for the event and get ready to enjoy from your screen our very first virtual open mic and all the fun! We will do our best to make this an unforgettable experience… Yes, we are super-duper excited. Tell your friends, and let your neighbors know :D
You want it, you need it, you’ve asked for it: D You want it, you need it, you’ve asked for it: DEAR NEIGHBORS IS BACK! Although being confined again is not probably what we all wanted, let’s take a look at the sunny side of the street… This new confinement allows us to bring back the best virtual open mic that exists on the internet! So, despair no more, put those vocal chords into work, start rehearsing and let your neighbors know (again) the wonderful artists that you are! Here you have the rules for Episode III, please read them carefully as we have a few changes: - Please, do not repeat songs that have already been sung during Episode I and II, here you have the full list: https://www.facebook.com/watch/369551486465826/156120958977511 - Deadline is Friday 27th of November - Shoot the video in landscape, not portrait/vertical (and apply this rule from now on, for the rest of your life ;)) - You have to sing a Broadway tune, or a composition of your own (you can change the lyrics if you want to) - Fun, upbeat songs please, please, please, and try to give Sara Bareilles some rest 😉 - Videos have to be new, for the Dear Neighbors musical, not old videos, or audition videos, or videos you have already published somewhere else. Yeah, just like Eurovision! - Please state your name, name of the song, musical and COMPOSER in the video - Don’t aim for perfection, it’s about having fun! All levels welcome - Please record yourselves with a karaoke or an instrument, not singing on top of Audra McDonald, duh - You can do a (virtual) duet, or a (virtual) group number, or Facetime with another singer, or drink wine on camera, or duet with yourselves, or sing with your cat, or… You know the drill! - Once you have the video, please send it to amtlive.openmic@gmail.com, you can use a Dropbox link or WeTransfer Yes, this is very exciting. We don’t know what will happen after December 1st and when will our physical open mic be back, but what we do know is that we will share again our love for Broadway with Dear Neighbors, as long as you keep sending those videos. We love you and we miss you, truly. And now… Let’s sing!
We have the best possible news for you guys, the o We have the best possible news for you guys, the one that you’ve been waiting for: JULY’S 6TH OPEN MIC IS ON! Following this “new normal” situation, the organization will be different this time: - Registration is mandatory through e-mail: amtlive.openmic@gmail.com - Since seats are limited due to the social distancing rules, we will create a wait list for this particular open mic - Registration will only be confirmed once we have the following information: full name (first AND last name) of everybody in the group, and a phone number. No exceptions - If somebody in your group cannot come, the seat will be given to the next person on the waiting list - Registration does not guarantee a singing spot: those will be distributed on a first come, first served basis at the door, as usual - If you are not in the registration list, you can still come to the open mic and wait at the door, just in case there are free seats (we don’t think this will be the case, but you can still try and wait outside) We want to thank you in advance for your kindness and understanding with these exceptional rules. We are in a unique situation and these rules are necessary so we can have an open mic, and we do want to have the open mic back! Thank you for your patience 🙂 *********************************************************************** Nous pouvons partager avec vous la nouvelle que nous avons tant attendu : L’OPEN MIC DU 6 JUILLET AURA LIEU ! Comme nous sommes dans une situation exceptionnelle, l’organisation sera différente cette fois-ci : - L’inscription par e-mail est obligatoire : amtlive.openmic@gmail.com - Comme les places sont limitées en raison des règles de distanciation sociale, nous allons créer une liste d'attente pour cet open mic - L'inscription ne sera confirmée que lorsque nous disposerons des informations suivantes : nom complet (prénom ET nom de famille) de tous les membres du groupe, et un numéro de téléphone.

Can you believe it’s been 5 years since we opene Can you believe it’s been 5 years since we opened Next Thing You Know? The Original Off-Paris cast opened Paris’ first immersive musical in an intimate “cave parisienne” 5 years ago today. The show has since grown to include dozens of cast and crew, & a French adaptation (Un Jour ou l’autre, written by Vincent Merval and Quentin Bruno) ! Thank you to all who have been on this journey with us : Julia Ledl, Vladimir Medail, Declan Doyle, Clémence Matthey, Judith Taupin, the Highlander pub, Marion Préïté, Devon Graves, Vinicius Timmerman, Loaï Rahman, Quentin Moriot, Samuel Sené, Mathieu Serradell, Raphael Sanchez, Marianne Devos, Florimond Dal Zotto, Lauren Van Kempen, Stanislas Clément & Jeanne Jerosme... (apologies to anyone we may have forgotten!), as well as the AMT staff, members, and audiences who have made this wonderful adventure possible. #NTYK

⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS: EPISODE II - "Je n'ai pas mis ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS: EPISODE II - "Je n'ai pas mis de slip aujourd'hui" Let’s start Episode II of Dear Neighbors singing about THE elephant in the room… If you don’t know what does the expression “elephant in the room” mean, it is a metaphorical idiom in English for an important topic that is obvious or that everyone knows about but no one mentions or wants to discuss because it’s personally or socially embarrassing. Just imagine you are in a room with other people and an elephant, but no one mentions the fact that… well, there’s an elephant in the middle of the room. Our friends from Broadway French (that you can follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BroadwayFrench/) have prepared for us a very short song, but in only 30 seconds they do address a big issue. True or elephant in the room? Let’s welcome Broadway French at the AMT community for the big Episode II opening, and stay tuned for more songs coming, of course!
Before we publish the kumbaia and because you've b Before we publish the kumbaia and because you've been asking, we wanted to show you a picture of the 2 people behind Dear Neighbors: Maria-Cristina and Fabio! These 2 have spent every-single-evening for one month in front of their computers and phones to make sure everything was running smoothly with all of your videos, organizing and scheduling everything, writing a lot of introductions, discussing the how and the when, and basically sending each other countless WhatsApps and voice messages to make sure this was going to work. Their conversations have turned into a debate of how Ursula from The Little Mermaid was dubbed in the Italian and Spanish versions by Disney, or if Madonna was the right person to play Evita or not (it was, according to Fabio – Maria-Cristina would like to have the right to have another opinion, if Fabio allows…). They have reached such a level of comfort amongst themselves that they both know now when the other is doing some sport, taking a shower, having way too many virtual meetings at work or playing Final Fantasy… If you have enjoyed Dear Neighbors so far, here you have the chance to thank these two friends, two people that have already decided that, once the confinement is over, instead of sending each other pictures of what they are eating, they will meet to eat pasta alla carbonara with no crème fraîche and paella without chorizo! (Seriously, French people, what is wrong with you??) PS: Picture taken before the confinement, of course
You want it, you need it, you have asked for it: g You want it, you need it, you have asked for it: get ready for “Dear Neighbors, Episode II”! Since we are going to be confined for a while, and May’s open mic won’t happen, please send us your videos and we will keep posting them on Facebook and Instagram during May! April is already taken with all the videos that you have sent for Episode I, including one or two surprises… Here you have the rules for Episode II: - Deadline is Friday 1st of May - Shoot the video in landscape, not portrait/vertical (and apply this rule from now on, for the rest of your life ;)) - You have to sing a Broadway tune, or a composition of your own (you can change the lyrics if you want to) - Fun, upbeat songs please - Videos have to be new, for the Dear Neighbors musical, not old videos, or audition videos, or videos you have already published somewhere else. Yeah, just like Eurovision! - Please state your name, name of the song, musical and COMPOSER in the video - Don’t aim for perfection, it’s about having fun! All levels welcome 🙂 - Please record yourselves with a karaoke or an instrument, not singing on top of Audra McDonald, duh - You can do a (virtual) duet, or a (virtual) group number, or Facetime with another singer, or… Use your imagination! - Once you have the video, please send it to amtlive.openmic@gmail.com, you can use a Dropbox link or WeTransfer Are you excited? We know you are! Get those vocal cords some training, they are going to need it for our next open mic, which will be the best open mic in the History Of Open Mics of the Broadway Galaxy for sure!
✨DEAR NEIGHBORS:THE MUSICAL ✨ - 8# Nora and Na ✨DEAR NEIGHBORS:THE MUSICAL ✨ - 8# Nora and Nathan - No Broadway neighborhood is complete without the Neighbors Rogers and Hammerstein, right? Luckily enough, Nora and Nathan are here to bring us a lovely sweet tune coming straight from a very well know story involving a pumpkin, some mice and lots of cinder. We welcome them here in Dear Neighbors, and it’d be a pleasure if we can also welcome them in the future in our physical open mics, with or without all of their instruments! Let’s show them in the comments why AMT has the best audience in town ;)
⭐🌟⭐DEAR NEIGHBORS: THE MUSICAL⭐🌟⭐ Op ⭐🌟⭐DEAR NEIGHBORS: THE MUSICAL⭐🌟⭐ Open Mic, Home Edition Are you home? Good for you! Are you bored? You probably are. Do you miss our wonderful open mic? You sure do. That’s why we are organizing a new show: “Dear Neighbors: The Musical”! The principle is simple: you record a video of you singing and we will publish it on Facebook and Instagram. We hope we get so many videos from you guys that Dear Neighbors will be longer than Les Mis! A few rules, though: - You have to sing a Broadway tune, or a composition of your own (you can change the lyrics if you want to) - Upbeat songs will always be a better choice than a power ballad or a depressing song, just like in the fleshy open mic! - Please do not send us videos from your auditions, they have to be new videos for Dear Neighbors! - Please state your name, name of the song, musical and COMPOSER at the beginning of the video - The videos have to be fun, not perfect, just like the open mic - Please record yourselves with a karaoke or an instrument, not singing on top of Audra McDonald, duh - All levels are welcome, as usual, and you will get all the love and support that you deserve from our community - Be mindful of your *dear neighbors* and record your videos during the day 😉 - Please, do not leave home to go somewhere else to sing with somebody else! But you can edit the video as much as you can if you want to do a (virtual) duet, or Facetime with another singer, or… Use your imagination! - Once you have the video, please send it to amtlive.openmic@gmail.com - Also, there will be a kumbaia, more to come on that one soon, be patient! Are you excited? Will you participate? Tag your friends so the hear about this new musical! If you’re home with nothing to do, find your song, rehearse it, record it and send it to us. We will be soooooooo happy to see your faces on the screen! Yay!
