world by creating opportunities to speak out about the issues To raise funds
to support and develop hospice and palliative care services around the world.
Under the Artistic Direction of Mrs Jackies Balls (Miss Jackie), and a production team led by Kerrie McMillan of Cayman HospiceCare, the Prospect Theatre came alive with “An Evening on Broadway,” to the sound of many familiar Broadway songs. From 42nd Street, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, South
Pacific, Les Miserables, Wicked and many more.
The cast which comprised of local talent from all walks of life delighted
packed houses with the diverse program and the audience responded in return
with tremendous applause and standing ovations on both nights.
