3 TENORS IN SEARCH OF AN ACT! had its world premiere at Don't Tell Mama's on June 2nd, 2004 in NYC. It was a sold-out
success and was brought back for several return engagements. They also premiered a "Holiday Edition" of their show at the
world renowned Trinity Church on December 9th of that same year.
They
won the 2005 BACK STAGE Bistro Award for Outstanding Musical Comedy Act and the show was nominated by the NY Press as one
of 3 finalists for "Outstanding Cabaret Musical Revue/Group/Variety Performance" for the 2005 NY Nightlife Awards and they
performed with the other finalists in the show's grand finale at Town Hall.
On
June 28th, 2005, they returned with a new Expanded Edition of their award winning show to Helen's cabaret theatre in the heart
of Chelsea where it continued to receive critical acclaim and, most recently, on Dec. 6th, 2005, they premiered A THREE TENOR
CHRISTMAS, an all new show with sparkling new arrangements by their musical director Paul Stephan.
Wicked,
smart, and uplifting, 3 TENORS IN SEARCH OF AN ACT! is a light-hearted evening poking campy fun at tenors, and the world of
theatre and cabaret.
The original concept was the brain-child of
Edd Clark and Paul Stephan, who asked their long-time friends, Bill Brooks and Steven Tharp to help create a show spoofing
the original "3 Tenors." After all, there'd already been the 3 Tenors, 3 Mo' Tenors, 3 Irish Tenors and even The Ten Tenors.
However, while working on the show, they found that just spoofing the original 3 Tenors was too limiting. So, utilizing many
musical styles including Pop, Musical Theatre, Soul, Jazz and Opera, the three "searching" tenors set out to find their own
voice, and in the process created a show with an original blend of harmony and humor.
