Opening Act Sept. 23

MANILA, Philippines - It’s every young artist’s dream to have that big break and perform before a crowd. Watch all the drama unfold on E!’s latest reality talent show Opening Act, premiering on Sept. 23 at 10 p.m.

Produced by Nigel Lythgoe (photo), the executive producer of American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance?, Opening Act features a star-studded panel of pop stars like Mary J. Blige, songwriter Antonina Armato, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and country diva Martina McBride as they comb the Internet for talented amateurs. The lucky ones to be picked get to perform as opening act for such artists as Nicki Minaj, LMFAO, Gym Class Heroes and Jason Mraz. 

But there’s a catch: The artists only have five days to prepare for the gig that could change their lives forever. With no auditions to pass, judges to please or votes to be won, everyone’s a winner. Or are they? 

Watch as these brilliant new discoveries try to chart their destiny to entertainment popularity in the revolutionary new talent show Opening Act.
