About

Presented in collaboration with San Diego based award winning theater company Blindspot Collective, Karaoke Dreams is a feel good new musical where every character whether a regular, newcomer, or a wannabe rockstar—carries a secret, a song, and something to prove.

In this immersive production, as the drinks get stronger and the bass gets louder, past and present collide—revealing the heartbreaks, hookups, and hopes hiding behind the music. Featuring songs by Lady Gaga, Elton John, Rihanna, Queen, Madonna, Tracy Chapman, ABBA, Bad Bunny, and many more, this world premiere is a joyful celebration of connection, community, and the catharsis of singing your truth. Karaoke Dreams reminds us that sometimes, the right song really can change everything.

Blindspot Collective is an award-winning theater company based in San Diego whose productions won or been nominated for Best New Play, Best New Musical, and Best Solo Performance by the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle. It is created and directed by Blake McCarty, whose work is “broadening the definition of theater” (New York Times), with musical direction by Lyndon Pugeda and choreography by Micah Parra.
