I’m excited to announce my newest POP SHOP with Showcase… a five week program of working on one song a week presentationally, technically and emotionally. The POP SHOP will be held on Thursday nights, 7- 10 PM October 27th- December 8th (with Thanksgiving off) A list of songs chosen just for you will be sent in advance so you are prepared with the melody. At the end of the five weeks, you will perform the best two of five songs live for casting directors, agents, managers et al. In this day and age, having POP songs prepped fro Broadway, Film and Television is a vital asset to you, as casting directors are not specific about what kinds of songs they would like you to perform for them. Please email me at bobgarrett5@gmail.com to register. Credit cards accepted. Looking forward.
I’m very excited to announce that Broadway Veteran CANDY BROWN (PIPPIN, CHICAGO, HELLO, DOLLY, LIZA WITH A Z) and I will co-host our first Musical Theatre Workshop in Denver November 12th and 13th. It promises to be a spectacular weekend focusing on putting a new book of audition songs together, song and dance audition and call back tools, the rehearsal process and showcase. Please email me for flyer and details @ Bobgarrett.net.
I’m also thrilled too announce that my partner Franne Golde and I have completed the book and score to “SING!” and are now planning to do an LA WORKSHOP before the end of the year. Stay tuned for details.
Also, thrilled to be coming full circle with THE COLOR PURPLE. Having coached the composers on the show for 4 years, we are all so proud of the success of the Tony Award winning revival. I’m off this weekend to New York to see Heather Headley’s last performance as Shug Avery and Jennifer Holliday’s first two days later in the same role. These great talents will no doubt give classic theatre performances.

I am so excited to be teaching and judging the singing competition at the 53rd National Conference of the National Association of Teachers of Singing in Chicago, July 8-10th. I am looking forward to connecting with over 1,000 of my colleagues. There is still time to join me if you have not made you plans yet. http://www.nats.org/Chicago_2016_-_Program.html
I’ll also be meeting the legendary Renee Fleming who is teaching a master class that weekend.
The other added bonus is seeing the pre broadway premiere of SPONGEBOB the MUSIC AL and Patti Lupone in WARPAINT. It promises to be an unforgettable weekend. !
It’s incredibly thrilling to know those I’ve coached, who have become my friends as well, are all winning major awards:
Brie Larson – winning an Oscar for ROOM, Jessica Lange winning a Tony for LONG DAYS JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, Ali Porter winning the VOICE and the composer/lyricists I coached, Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray, on How To Write A Broadway Musical on THE COLOR PURPLE, won a TONY for Best Revival of A Musical.
It’s so personally rewarding to watch people you love and believe in being so beautifully recognized by their peers and fans.
Bravo to you all!
