The support from the public and the success of the festival reinforced what we knew, that people love coming together to watch, hear and sing with their favorite musical stars. Now, we hope to make Elsie Fest bigger and better every year," says Darren Criss and Ricky Rollins, co-creators of Elsie Fest.
