From Carolyn D. Miller, Managing Director: "After seeing the show in development in LA, I knew we had to bring SPRING ALIVE! to New York City. The show is infectious and immersive, and the music is transformative. Joined by an incredible band and gorgeous dancers, Spring's story of change and growth makes Spring Alive! a natural fit for our company."
