NYC impresario, producer-writer-host, Scott Siegel, has conceived a new concept: NIGHTCLUB NEW YORK, making its debut on Monday, November 16 at 7 PM, aimed at making New York’s enormous pool of talented performers — most of whom are currently out of work — available to the entire world. Moreover, Siegel will make sure performers are paid for their work. To date, more than 35 major stars are onboard, scheduled for 20 different shows (see this list of entertainers below).
NIGHTCLUB NEW YORK is subscription-based. For a modest monthly fee, subscribers can enter the nightclub at any time and watch anything and everything in the nightclub they choose with their own personal code. Siegel describes the setup as the equivalent of a Netflix for musical performances. New entertainment will be regularly added to the platform. Each show will range in length of from 10 to 30 minutes. The initial list of stars and their performances have been culled from never-before-published archival footage and will be shown with the permission of the performers.
Founding Member monthly subscriptions to NIGHTCLUB NEW YORK will be $50 (which works out to just $2.50 per show!, per month). Founding Members who buy the first month, get the second month free. To subscribe, click hereÂ
Additionally, Siegel promises perks for those who want to support the club and help its efforts to both pay performers and make Broadway music (and its many musical cousins) more available to the world. There is a GoFundMe campaign simply titled “NIGHTCLUB NEW YORK†where, for different donations, one can have one of the club’s virtual showrooms, its wine cellar, or one of the club’s private bars named for the donor.
