The Bijou Blender- An Acappella Extravaganza

You've seen Glee and The Sing Off... now the Bijou Theatre brings THE SING OFF to you!! The Bijou Blender is a Connecticut-wide collegiate a cappella competition that highlights the incredible talent found at colleges and universities in our own back yard. The Connecticut a cappella scene is a force to be reckoned with and The Bijou Blender is a unique event that aims to highlight such talent. It’s “winner takes all” on November 12th, as one group will walk away with the coveted bragging rights and $1,000 in cold, hard cash.

The Judges 
The world-touring a cappella quartet, Blue Jupiter, will be sitting at the judges table. Blue Jupiter first gained national fame as the voices of Oreo Cookie, singing the national Oreo radio commercial since 2005. Since then, Blue Jupiter has headlined the Sands Casino in Macau, China, worked with famed producer and American Idol Judge Randy Jackson, sang with Livingston Taylor and performed on Oprah and VH1′s Save the Music.
