Some highlights of the show were the addition of the incredible musician and composer Neelamjit Dhillon and the well versed American Sign Language interpreter, Zelda Alpert-Torres.

And we will always remember this wonderfully engaged audience who loved participating so much that when Sheetal called for 3 volunteers, we ended up with a whole stage full of kids pretending to be mice!
