There's No Business Like Show Business
 

Everything entertainment will go with this theme! From the old days of Vaudeville to Broadway to hit television shows or movie blockbusters. You can open the show with a mock audition and then go into the audition song from the Broadway hit, A Chorus Line. And you can have the showbiz flare right from the time the audience walks into the building, from the lobby on in.

Other great ideas

Dress girls like the old-time “cigarette girls” with the box filled with your recital programs hanging around their neck, both in the lobby and walking the aisles  •  as the audience walks into the auditorium, you could be playing the 1954 movie There’s No Business Like Show Business playing on your curtain. Use the sound from the movie or just have a melody of nostalgic showbiz songs  •  for scene changes you could have Broadway show song lyrics on a screen or with the bouncing ball, giving the audience the opportunity be part of the show  •  the program could be set up like a Broadway Playbill
