Elon alumni Kennedy Caughell ’12, Ginna Claire Mason ’13, Joshua Carswell ’12 and Kenny Franceour ’12 perform together in a musical night at 54Below.  

Several Elon alumni took the stage on Nov. 21 at 54Below in New York City for “Hooray for Love,” a night of fun music and fierce vocals. Kennedy Caughell ’12 (music theatre) and Joshua Carswell ’12 (vocal performance) became friends while at Elon. After Elon, Carswell went on to pursue a music career in Nashville, and Caughell pursued a career in musical theatre.

Kennedy Caughell and Joshua Carswell will be performing in "Hooray for Love" on Nov. 21
Post-graduation, Caughell booked the lead role of Heather in the national tour of Green Day’s “American Idiot.” Most recently, Caughell toured the country as the standby for Elphaba in the National Tour of “Wicked.” Coming up, she will be performing in the new Off-Broadway musical “Chix 6.”

Caughell and Carswell are also joined by Elon alumna Ginna Claire Mason ’13, who is currently performing on Broadway as the standby for Glinda in “WICKED” after touring the country in “Newsies” and “Flashdance.” Also joining them is Elon alumnus Kenny Franceour ’12, who joined the National Tour of “Memphis” shortly after graduation.

These Elon alumni are joined by composers Arri Simon and Janine McGuire, with a special appearance by composer John Bucchino.
