Drew Nelson, a third grade student at Wicoff School, and Alexander DeSimine of West Windsor, are in the ensemble.
Shannon Ferrara, a music teacher at Grover Middle School, is the music director. Her husband Frank, a former Plainsboro resident, is the director. Pam Pisani of Plainsboro is the choreographer. If you go opening night, you can meet them all at the reception following the performance.
