The production will also feature surprise guest celebrity appearances.

Morrell’s other credits include such pieces as Toni Morrell – Now That’s An Entertainer – Featuring A Salute to the Legendary Ladies and her autobiographical My British-American Dream…”What The Hell Was I Thinking?. In addition, she was the voice-over spokesperson worldwide for the Pixar/Walt Disney motion picture, Tinker Bell.
