Show Tune Showdown 2010Ottawa's Fifth Annual Competition of Musical TheatreMarch 13, 2010, 8pm - Ottawa Little Theatre, 400 King Edward Ave., OttawaFor its fifth annual Show Tune Showdown, Tone Cluster is treating itself to a new downtown home for what it believes will be the best edition ever of the popular event.The Ottawa Little Theatre on King Edward Avenue will be the scene of the Broadway-musical-themed concert and friendly competition March 13. Since the first Show Tune Showdown in 2005, thousands of people have been entertained by the event’s unique mix of performance, audience participation, and competition. One 2009 audience member told the Ottawa Citizen: “The choir, their musical director Jane Perry, three ensembles (Zucchini Grotto Theatre Company, Sheridan College Musical Theatre Program and Suzart Productions), the judges, the master of ceremonies, the videos, not to mention the audience (who by correctly guessing show tunes won the prize of performing them), were very entertaining. Their exuberance, vibrancy and wit were infectious. When the Sheridan group performed their last number I jumped out of my seat and clapped wildly.” The fifth edition will feature four-singer teams from: Zucchini Grotto Theatre Company Sheridan College Musical Theatre Orpheus Musical Theatre The performances will be judged by a panel of three exceptionally qualified judges: Pierre Brault, Ottawa actor, comedian, and playwright Erica Peck, the young star of the Toronto productions of “We Will Rock You” and “The Boys in the Photograph” Kathleen Petty, host of CBC Radio’s “Ottawa Morning” and “The House” and passionate musical-theatre fan Tickets for the event are $22 in advance and $25 at the door, and are available through www.ticketweb.ca, as well as through Tone Cluster members or at supporting vendors in Ottawa: The Leading Note, 370 Elgin Street (at Frank) mother tongue books, 1067 Bank Street (at Sunnyside) After Stonewall, 370 Bank Street (at Gilmour) Venus Envy, 320 Lisgar Street (at Bank) Collected Works, 1242 Wellington Street West (at Holland) Books on Beechwood, 35 Beechwood Avenue (at Mackay) Show Tune Showdown supports the music and outreach activities of Tone Cluster. 2010 will see the choir travel to the Canadian Unison Festival in Winnipeg, as well as present its spring concert “We are the Music Makers.” Sponsors of the 2010 edition
