According to June Tau, junior and performer, the assembly was a great opportunity to experience other cultures and backgrounds. "It [assembly] brings awareness to respect everyone's other cultures," Tau said. "I liked how we were able to see not only ours today, but other countries as well. It was nice to see that everyone comes from different things and to also respect their background."](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_8058-2-1200x800.jpg)

According to Gallagher, he enjoyed the collaborative aspect as well as seeing students grow throughout the process. “I really liked working with all students in this type of atmosphere as opposed to an academic atmosphere,” Gallagher said. “That was really rewarding, especially after Spirit Week, when a lot of the students were like ‘I don't know how we're going to do this [plan Spirit Week],’ and then at the end, they end up doing it successfully.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/364A6531-1200x800.jpg)

According to Blumenfeld, a struggle in producing a musical with many students involved is getting to know everyone on a deeper level. “Because [“Mamma Mia!”] is so big, getting to know every single person and everyone's styles and techniques is hard, although it's definitely also the most rewarding part of it,” Blumenfeld said. “Being able to work with so many new people, and also developing those relationships [with everyone] because that needs to happen before opening night.” (Photo: Leena Hussein)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DSC_0103-900x600.jpeg)
