Join us for Campus Superstar

Larrimor’s is a sponsor of Campus Superstar, an American Idol-like solo singing competition featuring Pittsburgh-area college students.  Now in its 5th year, Campus Superstar is one of Pittsburgh premier benefit events, with the proceeds supporting the programs of the Hillel JUC and J’burgh which are designed to reach out to and retain young adults in their 20’s to our region.

Campus Superstar is a professionally produced show that is growing in popularity each year.  This year, the show takes place on April 3rd at the Carnegie Music Hall, Oakland @ 7 p.m. The 10 contestants, who will be competing for a first place prize of $5000, were selected from over 150 talented students from Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University and Point Park University, who auditioned in the fall.  From those 150, twenty-five were selected for a semi-final competition, which alone drew an audience of over 400.  We expect that this year’s finalists will perform in front of a full audience of more than 1800.

Below are brief (2-minute) video clips from previous years for you to get an idea of what this show is about.  Our past finalists are already performing in major theaters across the country, including on Broadway and in Broadway traveling productions (in leading roles).  They have been in films, international touring bands and one finalist even made it to the Hollywood round of this season’s American Idol.  Pittsburgh’s colleges boast excellent music and drama programs, and as a result a great deal of talent is available to us.  This is NOT your average college talent show, but quite simply the largest Campus Superstar event in the United States.

Enjoy these clips to see why! Hope to see you at Campus Superstar!
