(H)Its Tonight!

THE WORKSHOP

Hits Tonight is the Hottest 100 meets Eurovision – a show where improvisors perform the hottest songs of the festival, as named by our audience. This workshop will look at improvising solo songs in a variety of styles. Focusing on commitment and selling your song.

Participants will not need to be musical improvisors but must be willing to commit to a solo performance. From a skills boost perspective, participants will get to experience working with the world class accompaniment of Benny Davis, and gain the confidence to sing a full length solo banger!

The show will be cast from the pool of participants, and will take into consideration a mix of skills – not just vocal ability. We want a variety of performance styles!

THE TEACHER

Benny is a renowned musician, comedian and music teacher and has a plethora of experience helping improvisors sound amazing. (Benny is also the first musician Amanda ever worked with as a musical improvisor, having worked together in the early 2000’s on Blank! The Musical and in too many Enmore Theatre Shows to remember.)
