The Sound of Music, NRG's $130,000 Charitable Giveaway, and VOADV's Give After Dark

First, Kristen speaks with Chad Campbell who plays Rolf in the Broadway National Touring Production of The Sound of Music. The show is at the Merriam Theater now through Sunday (4/29) and it’s great! Kristen had a chance to check it out, and absolutely loved the production and Chad Campbell in it. Also, Lancaster native Jill-Christine Wiley plays the part of Maria, and she’s incredible. This show is a must-see. KimmelCenter.org
