Maroulis, who was also a finalist on FOX-TV's "American Idol," will be the evening's special guest. The singing actor is scheduled to perform a few tunes at the weekly event. Hosted by Brandon Cutrell and Alysha Umphress, "The After Party" features Ray Fellman at the piano. Cabaret favorite Lisa Asher is also now part of the "Party" mix — Asher will pour drinks and perform during the evening where amateurs and professionals are invited to take turns at the open mic. The "Party" begins at 10:30 PM and continues to 2 AM.
