Moved to the Main Stage! More tickets available!

Lansing "favorites" return to the Riverwalk stage after eleven years for a sequel of miscast musical numbers. Kyle and Kayla Harwood,

Tigi Habtemariam, Joe Quick, Kelly Stuible-Clark, and Tony Sump are joined by John Dillingham and Kait Wilson on keys and Aaron Bender drums, for an evening of unforgettable renditions of their favorite numbers- favorites they'll never play on stage.


This event is a fundraiser for Riverwalk Theatre, and all proceeds go right back to the theatre we love so much.
