"Kenny is an entertaining, upbeat performer who actively involves his audience in his show. My students were delighted to not only sing along, but they also got opportunities to dance, act and share their ideas. Amid all of the fun, Kenny subtly reinforced ideas about believing in oneself, trying one's hardest, using the imagination and celebrating diversity. All in all, it was a wonderful show enjoyed by people of all ages."
