What a beautiful man, George Newburn! I’ll boast a minute to say…I was in that musical theatre show with George which toured the East coast, I 11 yrs at the time, was in the room with George when he had his “vocal epiphiney”. George went on to star in several shows at the children’s theatre & was a heartthrob to many. There are many who love and are incredibly proud to see George succeed in his career. I hope to someday “hear” his heart through musical performance again. Congrats George! The sky is the limit for you. ♡ Susan
