synopsis

Christopher & Michael have decided to put on a show. Christopher & Michael have decided to sing songs. The one thing Christopher & Michael couldn't agree on, however, was what to sing. That's where the audience comes in!

Upon arrival, audiences are asked to write down any musical theatre song titles, throw them into a designated hat, and see what gets pulled out. Whatever songs Christopher & Michael pull out, Christopher & Michael have to sing! But things don't always go as planned creating a mess that is awfully hilarious and hilariously awful!

what audiences had to say...

"'Songs from a Hat' was conceived as a fun one-time benefit show, but it turned out to be a hysterically funny show that should have a run of it's own! Christopher Michaels and Michael Perrie Jr. are a contemporary musical vaudeville team the likes of which we don't see anymore!"

- PETER SAXE

"Their chemistry on stage is incredible!"

- CARLY OTTE

"These guys are brilliant! I never knew what to expect next!"

- MICAH MACIAS

"Such incredible work! Glad I got to see this show!"

- KEELY MCCORMICK

"A complete tour de force! I couldn't stop watching them and wondering 'what will they do next?!' Even when I needed to go to the bathroom, there was not one moment where I thought... 'This is a time when I could go pee.'"

-MATTHEW ROLAND

"The entire thing was beautifully and hilariously crafted! Every single moment was extremely fun. The banter was witty, the premise was unexpected, and I hope to God they do this show again!"
