It seems that everyone is singing these days. If it’s not a 20 something year old pretending to be a pre-pubescent teen on TV or in movies, it is a group of drunk 20 somethings pretending to be Journey at the local karaoke bar.
I get it; Don’t Stop Believing is an awesome song. Now put something else on for once.
With cleverly covered classic hits being sung by everyone these days it was only a matter of time until theater caught up. The new Off-Broadway show Perfect Harmony tells the story of the high stakes competitive world of high school acapella.
As a group of “high school students” comically deal with the pressure of competition, friendship, success, and of course sexuality the audience is delighted by beautifully sung covers.
It is a fun change of pace from the overly dramatic musicals that surround it in the Time Square area. Although the characters take themselves far too seriously the show never does. With songs ranging from Queen’s The Final Countdown to Rihanna’s Umbrella, there is something for everyone.

And what better after show activity then Karaoke. Did you know the word karaoke is Japanese for empty orchestra? Isn’t that hauntingly beautiful?
Keep Adventuring,
