On Tuesday, April 22, a group of nineteen UTA musical theatre students opened the annual conference for OMNI hotels in Dallas with a show-stopping performance of "The Greatest Show" from the movie The Greatest Showman. The theme of this year's conference was Achieve New Heights, so OMNI wanted a large production number to kick things off. The performance featured Broadway performer Jeff Kready in the Hugh Jackman role, as well as local circus performers Kelli and Julio Ramazini. The cast rehearsed for two weeks for this event, and they were led by a creative team of Theatre Arts and Dance faculty: Austin Eyer, Sarah Fagan, Cody Dry, and Kristina Ortiz Miller.
