After a cancellation to their Saturday show due to weather, the Tiger Girls were not going to be stopped. Parents, grandparents, siblings and even faculty were seated amongst each other in excitement for the show.

The theme for this year was "Tiger Girls on Broadway," so everything was themed as such. Everything down to the costumes and makeup were Broadway-esque. The playbills were even formatted in the same way playbills are on Broadway. Before each new act, they previewed it by playing the Broadway song. Acts from shows such as The Wiz, West Side Story, and even Singin’ in the Rain. Each act of course had the matching outfit that was themed after the original Broadway show.

In the midst of so many outfit changes, the seniors of Tiger Girls had time to change into elegant evening gowns for their Senior Father-Daughter Dance. Each senior dad walked out to their daughter dressed to the nine, grinning from ear to ear. Each senior dad was presented with alongside their daughter. Together they did a dance whether it be a trending dance or throwing up their future schools hand signs. Each pair received a couple laughs and smiles from the audience. After intermission, the show was back in full force. Act after act the costumes continued to stun and wow us all. Of course, the audience sang along to their favorite Broadway songs.
The seniors ended the show with a class dance, which of course ended in tears from many but smiles from all. After the curtain closed everyone anxiously awaited for their favorite dancer to come out. Flowers were being tossed their way and hugs were given to all the dancers.
