The group cheered and gasped at her entrance as she gushed about the show: “It was so hard to sit down that I thought, ‘I want to dance too!'”
Pink said: ‘That was so good, you guys are so good! Thank you, that was amazing. “Willow wants to be in theater, so that was really nice.”
Along with the video, the theater group exclaimed: ‘What a way to close our show! Thanks to special guest, @pink, for coming out and supporting our show! What a night.’
Pink also smiled in photos with members of the theater group and is said to have given the performance a “standing ovation.”
PACA Sydney added: ‘For Pink to watch our show and give us a standing ovation was truly beyond words! I can’t find words to describe this feeling.’
