BENJAMIN HARMON, has been taking the Anchorage singing scene by storm. Ben began singing when he was six as a member of the Alaska Children's Choir under the direction of the late Janet Stotts. He has performed in many musicals at the Alaska Fine Arts Academy in Eagle River. His favorite roles include the Sultan in Aladdin, Prince Charming in Cinderella, and Charlie Brown in A Charlie Brown Christmas. In January, Ben was the 1st place Elementary Division winner in the 2016 NATS Alaska Janet Stotts Memorial Youth Vocal Competition. In addition to voice and acting, he also studies the piano and the drums. He was thrilled and honored to perform as a featured soloist with the Anchorage Concert Chorus, Ms. Keene, Mr. Alvarez, and ASO orchestra for "ALWays: A Tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber" in October 2016. HANNAH ADAMS graduated from Boston Conservatory of Music and Dance where she is pursuing her dream of performing on Broadway. Already a local dance star, Hannah began taking voice lessons to fill out her "triple threat" portfolio (acting, singing, dancing) that all aspiring Broadway hopefuls should aspire to. She has performed in numerous musicals and shows, making her way up from dance company member to singing roles. Hannah frequently assists Christine for acting and movement workshops. Looking forward to the day she calls to say she's landed her first Broadway gig!
