Nina Toups, the senior who has been in the musical, fall drama, A Capella, and county choir every possible year since 6th grade, reflected on her final production: “It’s definitely sad that this is going to be my last show at Cresskill, and probably my last show ever, but after seven years I think I’m ready to move on to whatever comes next. I’m going to miss my fellow cast members, however I’m sure I’ll be back to watch their next production soon enough.”

Gal Ashkenazi emphasizes how “working on such a vibrant, cheerful show has us all filled with excitement.” Even though Danna Alvarez says she was never in a musical before, she is “super excited” for her “first real experience” and “can’t wait to put it all together and see footloose come to life.”

The musical will be on March 10th, 11th, and 12th, so make sure to show up and keep an eye out for further updates!
