🚨You only have two more chances to witness this cast's beautiful, wonderful brilliance.

🎭TONIGHT 5/16 at 7:30 PM
🎭TOMORROW 5/17 at 2:30 PM

These actors have been:

• Serving vocals like they’re trying to summon a weather event

• Acting so hard they’re basically doing emotional CrossFit

• Hugging, crying, dancing, and Newfoundland‑accenting like their lives depend on it

• Making audience members weep in that “I swear I’m fine, it’s allergies” way

And honestly? They’re not slowing down.
They’re unstoppable.
They’re caffeinated.
They’re ready to give you everything they’ve got left in the tank.

✨ If you’ve been waiting… stop. This is your sign. Your moment. Your boarding call. ✈️
