"March 13, 2008 CITYWALK’S RISING STAR TO DEBUT AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORTKaraoke Artists Take the Stage in True Rock Star Form with Back-Up Singers and a Full Band
ORLANDO, Fla. (March 13, 2008) – If you love the thrill of karaoke, the warmth of the spotlight or just want to show off, you have what it takes to be a “rising star.” Tapping into one of the nation’s hottest trends, Universal Orlando Resort elevates karaoke to a whole new level with the addition of CityWalk’s Rising Star. The new venue features karaoke with a twist, where performing guests will be introduced to screaming audiences by an emcee and take center stage as they sing with a full live band and back-up singers.
This fresh, new take on a favorite social pastime gives even the most amateur karaoke fans a taste of musical fame as they belt out their favorite songs either solo or with a group of friends. CityWalk’s Rising Star will offer guests the same compelling stage performance experience every night of the week with a host and back-up vocalists, and five nights a week with a full band (Tuesday – Saturday). Whether you’re a table of two or here with a larger group or party, CityWalk’s Rising Star offers something for the music lover in everyone. The club’s diverse song list is packed with rock ‘n’ roll, country, hip-hop and other popular classics from several decades.
CityWalk’s Rising Star will reside in the location made famous by CityJazz, which will close on Sunday, March 16 and re-emerge on Friday, March 21 offering the excitement of karaoke and other entertainment."
