Well-done!

Thanks to the entire cast for four great performances this weekend. I thought it was excellent and hope you all feel proud of yourselves for what you accomplished. I know it's not always easy to devote so much time, but it really paid off. You looked fabulous, you sounded fabulous and I only heard positive reactions from the audience members. Congrats on a show well-done!
