STAGE TUBE: Onstage Valentine's Day Proposal Wows Crowd at Off-Broadway's ILUMINATE

The Valentine's Day audience at the new 2014 edition of iLUMINATE received an unexpected romantic bonus after the performance last Friday night. Immediately following the show's curtain call, there was a sudden announcement over the sound system requesting audience member Raquel Fhima to come up on stage. Once she did so, a young man, Albert Alchkifati, strolled out on stage to present his longtime girlfriend with a dozen long-stemmed roses. He then proposed to her and presented the ring. The bride-to-be happily accepted as the audience roared with approval. The entire event was captured on video - check it out below!

iLUMINATE (formerly titled ARTIST OF LIGHT), opened on January 27th at New World Stages to unanimous rave reviews. iLuminate wowed the nation with their groundbreaking light suits and innovative dance moves on NBC's "America's Got Talent," where the dance-in-the-dark sensation was selected as one of the hit show's top finalists after judge Piers Morgan called them "The Best New Act in America!"
