Join us for an evening of your favourite musical theater!
Everyone is welcome – first timers and experienced karaoke singers alike! The bar will be open a half hour before the show begins. If you plan to sing it would be helpful if you could send Robb (robb@captivatebaern.ch) an email with either a link to your backing track on youtube or the backing track file itself. If you’re not so keen on planing ahead, just come along and we’ll find you a backing track on the fly.
Next dates: (to be annouonced) at 8 PM
