Check out our guide to get a peek at upcoming shows including Six, Almost Famous, Becoming Nancy, and more!

To recount their previous woes, and then wow us on stage. They may have had a botched audition or two, but this performance is their chance to say "Just look at me now," and show how far they've come.
