'Sip & Sing' With Kyle Barisich And Friends

Broadway stars Ali Ewoldt and Jimmy Smagula will join host Kyle Barisich on the Bay Street Theater stage for the Music Mondays performance of “Sip & Sing LIVE!” on Monday, August 29, at 8 p.m. The evening marks the long-awaited arrival of Barisich’s celebrated online concert series, “Sip & Sing,” live and in-person at the theater. Pianist Camille Johnson, known for her work on “Hamilton” and “Wicked,” will provide musical accompaniment for the evening.

Over the past two years, Barisich amazed crowds with his online sing-alongs, which showcased special guests from the screen and stage as they led live Zoom attendees through songs from Broadway, the Great American Songbook and beyond. The online show was produced in partnership with Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ Milojo Productions and aired weekly on iHeartRadio Broadway. This fun evening promises to be the perfect full-circle bookend to a celebratory and successful Bay Street summer season.
