Having such a passion for musical theatre since an early age myself, I cannot imagine a more talented group to join forces with to share these timeless songs with audiences of all ages. And it doesn't hurt that they are so handsome to look at too." And the guys are equally excited to have her along for the ride. Sebastien said: "We've been following Lea's extraordinary career for years and are huge fans.
