On December 15th, 2014, Sing For Your Seniors hosted one of its Broadway Sessions with cast members from Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella on Broadway for the patients of Calvary Cancer Hospital. The musical performance hosted by Sing For Your Seniors' Board Member Brett Teresa, included songs of the performer's choosing as well of songs from Cinderella. Patients and their families, nurses, doctors and staff enjoyed a one hour session as well as a meet-and-greet visit with the cast following the performance.

Executive Director Jackie Vanderbeck explains, "Sing For Your Seniors' Broadway Sessions bring the essence of a particular show to a community of people that would otherwise not get the opportunity to experience the wonderment and thrill of Broadway because of their physical health or financial need."
Performers included Nathan Lucrezio (Cinderella, A Chorus Line), Michael Callahan (Cinderella, Elon University '13), Cody Davis (Cinderella, White Christmas), Tessa Grady (Cinderella, Annie), with Mason Griffin on piano..
