Broadway Café: Iconique Edition

Jun 08, 2024 - Jun 08, 2024 | Studio | 8 p.m.

Broadway Café is the Segal Centre’s beloved Broadway Karaoke night with live piano accompaniment!


Ah non! C’est fini! Another incredible season of Broadway Café is coming to a close…but not before our fantastic hosts Victoria Di Stefano and Éloïse Eugène sing us out in style! Before we take our bows for the summer, we invite you to come sing iconic songs from musicals in any language to celebrate the vivacious and thriving Montreal musical theatre community. You’ll be sure to be left yelling “Encore!” all summer long.

HOW IT WORKS:

    • VIRTUAL SIGN-UP: you must sign up to sing at the link above before 4 p.m. the day of the event.
    • The order of performances will be drawn at random live the night of the event. We’ll do our best to get to as many singers as possible, you can help us by picking a song that is under 3 – 4 minutes. 
    • When the hosts call your name, you will have a chance to consult with the pianist before singing. All our pianists are experts at sight-reading and will be able to accompany you and make you feel comfortable. 
    • Our “one song rule” remains in effect. We will let everyone sing once before anyone can sing a second time. Solos, duets, trios, and group songs all count as your one song, so choose wisely.
    • The only exception to this rule is preview numbers of upcoming musicals. These must be booked in advance and will not count towards your “one song”. We will even promote your production on our Broadway Café Facebook page. For more info or to reserve a preview spot, message us on social media or send an email to mthompson@segalcentre.org 
    • The themes are just for fun! Use the prompt as inspo or sing whatever your heart desires.
    • Click here for a list of the songbooks available onsite. If you have a specific song you’d like to sing we’d recommend bringing your own sheet music to be sure. 
    • Please bring your sheet music on double-sided and three-hole punched paper. 
    • Seating is general admission. This is not a show so you can feel free to get up and move around as needed. The bar will be open throughout and concessions are allowed in the theatre.
    • Broadway Café is a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment open to singers of all skill levels. We will cheer you on and be your backup singers no matter what!
    • Amongst its many perks, Class Act offers members -50% off on tickets to Broadway Café as well as a -10% at the bar. Find out more about this amazing subscription package for students and under 30. 
    • This event is recommended for 16+ 

MEET YOUR HOSTS

Victoria Di Stefano

Hello!! I’m Victoria, (she/her), and I am a singer/actor from Montreal, QC! 

I have been singing practically my entire life, and I started acting in plays & musicals when I was in CEGEP at John Abbott College. I have found my art and passion in performing & entertaining, and I can’t wait to dive back into my next project (probably after I graduate uni…)!! This is my very first time hosting Broadway Café, but I have attended quite a few in the last 4 years. I am absolutely thrilled to not only host, but CO-HOST with the love of my life, Elo❤️ This will not be the first time we share the stage together, and will certainly not be the last…kiss pookie!!! SO excited and can’t wait to see you all there to sing our little bilingual hearts away!!!!

Éloïse Eugene

Éloïse discovered her love for musicals in high school. While being very shy and introverted at the time, she realized how she could be anything she wanted to be while performing on a stage. And that's when it hit her: musical theatre always brings some kind of magic into one's life. She then pursued her studies in chemical engineering, but that's a story for some other time.

While her main background may not be as artistic, she still went back at it from time to time throughout her studies, joining extracurricular activities with l'Épopée Imaginaire while at CÉGEP, and Poly-Theâtre during university. She also had the chance to perform in a play called Mwen la ("I'm here", in Haitian Creole) which got her back to her roots, being able to fully embrace her Haitian culture while being on a stage. She has performed as Sheila Bryant in Nuvo's A Chorus Line and as Joanne in Rent, with her fellow scene partner Victoria Di Stefano. "Quand on m'a demandé de faire l'animation du Broadway Café avec Victo, j'étais très très excitée! Je n'ai jamais eu cette expérience là encore, et je suis sincèrement heureuse que ça soit ici que j'aie l'occasion de le faire pour la première fois. Qui sait, peut-être découvrirai-je un nouveau hobby 😁j'espère que l'audience va en profiter à fond, et j'ai hâte qu'on partage tous ensemble notre amour et notre passion des arts dans cette édition Iconique!!! On veut vous voir briller sur la scène, et on veut que ce soit votre moment, peu importe ce que vous avez besoin d'exprimer ❤️
