Musical Theater Singalong

Belt out your favorite show tunes alongside fellow Broadway lovers. Accompanied live on piano by talented local musicians, this series brings the magic of musical theater to an informal, joy-filled setting. We’ll provide a curated songbook full of hits from classic and contemporary musicals, and you’re encouraged to make requests. Whether you sing every word or just hum along, all voices are welcome. This is one of our drop-in programs, designed for those who may be unable to commit to regular classes but who want to be part of a musical community. Attend whenever it works for you. Advance registration is recommended, but we will do our best to accommodate you at the door.

The suggested participation fee is $15 per event. As with all of our programs, pay-what-you-can is always an option. You can also subscribe and support GSoM! For $50/month, attend all the programs you’d like, and help support the Grinnell School of Music!

For More Information:

The Grinnell School of Music, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is a community music school in Grinnell where children and adults access professional music instruction. With an emphasis on participatory, community music-making in addition to excellence in performance, we provide accessible opportunities for all ages.
