The free event will feature Amelia Cormack, who has recently enjoyed a stint on London’s West End as a Diva in Priscilla, a role she originated in the Sydney production. Songsmith Michael Griffiths (We Will Rock You, Jersey Boys), Cameron MacDonald (Miss Saigon, Mamma Mia & Jersey Boys) and Brisbane’s own chanteuse extraordinaire Naomi Price will also be featured performers at this inaugural event.
Following the featured artists, host Jeremy Brennan (Jersey Boys) will kick of an open-mic event, which is aimed at both professionals and up-and-coming performers. Eligible open-mic participants will have the opportunity to compete for a coveted showcase opportunity at the 2012 Brisbane Cabaret Festival. (More details to come).
