What an incredible weekend at the iconic Don’t Tell Mama in NYC as Spotlight Kidz performers, ranging in ages from 6-17, took the stage for an unforgettable KIDZ CABARET and what an unforgettable celebration it was! From powerhouse vocals to heartfelt storytelling, these talented youngsters and teens proved that when it comes to creativity, confidence, and passion… ANYTHING (truly) GOES.
Congratulations to every single performer! Each performer brought their own sparkle, passion, creativity and courage to take stage and we are so proud of all of you. Their takes on songs which included different genres was inspiring. To add to the theme, sisters Anna and Caroline Kramer (all the way from New Orleans) sang a duet of “Anything Goes” and the entire cast singing “Friendship” from ANYTHING GOES was a perfect ending to a fantastic show.
And to our incredible audience, thank you for showing up to support these talented young artists and Spotlight Kidz. Your encouragement and support means everything!
Here’s to more moments, more memories, and more magic on stage!
Until next time NYC… (our next KIDZ CABARET is June 6)
🎬 Director/Producer: Sandy Kost-Sterner
🎶 Music Director: Jason Wetzel

On the stage today at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC, “Anything Goes” means more than just a theme. It means freedom. It means courage. It means being YOU. For these incredible youngsters and teens, it’s about: Taking risks, finding their voice, stepping outside their comfort zone and shining in their own unique way
Every performer today brings something different… and that’s what makes the Spotlight KIDZ CABARET so special. Because when young artists believe in themselves, Anything (truly) Goes! Break a Leg to all of our performers today! ⭐️

Spotlight Kidz has been invited to perform at today’s final ceremony of the Walk for Peace, a 2,300-mile pilgrimage led by Buddhist monks as a living prayer for peace, compassion, and nonviolence. Twenty-Four singers will represent Spotlight Kidz at this special event.
Why It Matters: After walking more than 2,300 miles over 108 days, Buddhist monks will conclude their Walk for Peace in the nation’s capital—passing their message of unity and mindfulness to the next generation. Spotlight Kidz’s performance highlights how young voices can actively participate in meaningful social and humanitarian movements, demonstrating that peace is not only taught, but lived and shared across generations. 🙏❤️

On this date seven years ago the Spotlight Kidz took the stage at Radio City Music Hall for the very first time. Singing on the grand stage opening for the Rockettes “Christmas Spectacular” show was magical! It has become a holiday tradition for us performing every year since that first time in 2018. So many memories through the years and much more will be made in the future. So proud of all the young performers who have joined us for this holiday time in NYC!
