[Kimberly AJ]

My idea will involve all members so here's what I think can be:

Filmed at the Harmony Hall Regional Center

Act 1 dresses
All white dresses with different decorations

Ceili dresses
Pink with short sleeves and purple belts with big bows and long ribbons on the back

Act 2 dresses
Chloe: Pink gown with green off-the-shoulder sleeves and a matching belt with a leafed red rose on the side and a big purple bow on the bodice
Lisa K: Chartreuse top with sea green skirt layered with an aqua blue veil attached
Meav: Lime green dress with a purple silk belt
Orla: Yellow gown with a star-sparkling bodice and short transparent sleeves
Mairead N: Red, orange, green and blue top with a rainbow-striped skirt

Additionally, after Orinoco Flow, I think Chloe will welcome the famous space ranger Buzz Lightyear on the stage and have a talk with him. Then, the other members demonstrate their musical actions with him. And once he told a story to all these ladies, they will sing Danny Boy to him and then they will all perform Mo Ghile Mear featuring his flight demonstration. Oh, and he can return for the grand finale!
