NEW YORK -- Introducing Spotlight Live, an interactive dining and live performance venue in Times Square where guests walk in for dinner and walk out a star. Everyone wants their fifteen minutes of fame; Spotlight Live gives revelers the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience, backed by professional singers, as well as cut a track in a private recording booth. A JumboTron outside the restaurant broadcasts the performances in real time for those passing by in Times Square, and live and recorded performances stream online and air on demand TV to a worldwide audience.
Occupying 23,000 sq ft in the heart of New York City, the state-of-the-art venue features four floors of groundbreaking technology, developed exclusively for Spotlight Live. Guests get their shot in the spotlight, performing on one of the venue's two stages or cutting an album in a private recording booth. A behind-the-scenes green room helps guests prep for their performance, offering backstage advice from choreographers as well as professional hair and makeup artists. For those interested in keeping their performances private, Spotlight Live features a private party space for 100 guests.
Performers have a unique opportunity to take their star turn on television, thanks to an exclusive deal with Comcast, which will air performances on their video on demand service and broadcast select singers in real-time on the JumboTron outside the Times Square restaurant.
When guests enter, their photos are uploaded onto the interactive system, offering access to all guest profiles and enabling everyone to communicate with each other through the system's instant messaging service. Using the tableside touch-screen, guests will scroll through Spotlight Live's extensive song inventory and vote and post comments on performances. Large screen TVs will display voting results throughout the performances and also feature comments from viewers both at the venue and on the internet. Spotlight Live is located at 1604 Broadway in New York City. |GlobalGiants.com|
