With its 60th anniversary just around the bend, the high school musical theatre competition SING! can look back on an illustrious history that has nurtured the talents of performers such as Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, Neil Sedaka and Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel.
Established in 1947 by Mrs. Bella Tillis, a music teacher at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, SING! is an annual student-run event hosted by some high schools in the New York City area. It is a breeding ground for actors, singers, dancers, musicians, designers, directors and choreographers – in other words, almost anyone with an affinity for the arts.
