Sara Jean Ford, who starred as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera, also brought a solo show to Franklin and headlined FPAC’s “Broadway in Franklin Weekend.” Emily Koch (Elphaba in WICKED on Broadway) and Jim Hogan (of viral a cappella sensation T.3) starred in THE BLACK BOX Sings… WICKED with Hogan also bringing his group T.3 to perform multiple concerts. 

Clay Rice-Thomson, currently in Moulin Rouge, choreographed FPAC’s productions of Mary Poppins and Matilda and performed in Legally Blonde and Christopher Rice’s The Tappy Christmas Special: LIVE! alongside fellow February 21st headline Liz Byrne (Baby It’s You). Nyla Watson, most recently seen on Broadway in Waitress, visited Franklin last spring to sing Medda Larkin in THE BLACK BOX Sings… Newsies.
