Hello, Broadway World. This is Natalie Joy Johnson, and I am coming at you to let you know about my new show going on at the Green Room 42 on Thursday, March the 27th at 7 p.m. We are doing March Madness. Spot. Make it Cabaret
0:16
We will be voting live in the room that night to what songs I will sing. And don't worry, live streamers, if you can't make it, New York
0:29
City, you can live stream and get in on the boat. Honestly, we have been doing these shows always, baby, we've been to kind of
0:55
again, it's fun to kind of switch it up. And I had this idea last year, a fledgling of it
1:02
but I didn't actually let it come to life. And this year I just was like, what do you think
1:07
Brian? Does this make any sense? Can we do a bracket kind of show where we let the audience
1:13
decide what we're doing? So currently we are doing voting in my Instagram stories in the
1:21
initial bracket, so we haven't revealed any of the final top contenders except one category
1:27
But to give you an example, we had contemporary divas, and we had Abercadabra Lady Gaga
1:33
versus Texas Holden Beyonce, Lady Gaga trounced. And then in the other category, it was
1:40
Sabrina Carpenter espresso with Chapel Rhone's coffee. And that wasn't like hotly contested
1:46
They were very, very close. But Sabrina took that espresso to the next level and edged it
1:51
her out So the night of the show it will be abracadabra versus espresso in the final bracket And that will be voted on during the show Over the years having been able to do this for so many years
2:08
you know, we started with four and a half years at Therapy Bar and Grill, RIP
2:14
and started gathering our community there. And really at this point, it feels like church
2:24
feels like this is our monthly or weekly or, you know, however the schedule is happening
2:31
gathering place where we all get together and get to tell stories and share songs and community
2:37
and spirit and vibes. And everything is so insane right now that the most
2:45
we need to squeeze as much joy and laughter and life and love and community
2:54
and goodness as we can and getting together with like my folks
3:00
who get what we're doing and who dig it. It's truly like
3:05
the thing that makes my heart explode with joy. In West Philadelphia born and raised
3:11
where the playground is where I spent most of my days chilling out max and relaxing all cool
3:16
and I was shooting some B-ball outside of the school and a couple of guys who were up to no good
3:21
started making trouble in my neighborhood I got one little fight and my mom got scared
3:26
She said, you're moving with your aunt, your uncle, to Bel-Air. I whistle for a cab, and when it came here, the license plate said fresh, and it had dice in the beer
3:34
If anything, I could say that this cop was wearing, and I thought, nah, forget it. You home to Bel Air
3:41
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight. I yelled to the cabin
3:45
You home, spell you later. Look at my kingdom. I was finally there
3:49
To sit on my throne as the prince of them. The Prince of Bel Air
