Class teachers Ms. Magoulias and Ms. DiMare were so inspired by the performance that they sent a video of the kids singing to the cast and crew of the Broadway play.

The cast and crew were in turn so moved that they invited the teachers, the children, and their families to come to the theatre so that the children could sing and meet the cast.
