Bring Out Your Broadway

Friday Night Karaoke
About this episode

It's Episode 60 of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast, and the theme of the week was #FNKBroadway

Once upon a time, in a vibrant Facebook group not so far away, the FNK community embarked on a melodious quest to "Bring Out Your Broadway."  This week, our enchanting podcast shines a spotlight on the stars who've taken the stage, bringing Broadway and Off-Broadway into our hearts and homes.  Gather round, dear members of this magical karaoke kingdom, for a night of storytelling through song, where dreams are sung, and songs are lived.  Tune in, cheer on, and maybe even find your next Broadway number to conquer.  And remember, in the world of FNK, everyone's a star, and every song tells a story. So, what's yours?

  • Darin Heninger reaches for the "Stars" of Les Misérables, proving that amidst the barricades of life, we can find our light.

  • Paul Bright ascends beyond the fire escapes of West Side Story with "Somewhere," finding a place for us in his vocal embrace. 
  • Heather Gurnari reveals the "Heart of Stone" from SIX, but fear not, for her voice is anything but cold, thawing the iciest of hearts.
