The Queendom at the musicalSixmay have two new royal subjects!
Nicole Lynn Cirillo and her daughters, Elena, 6, and Amelia, 5, attended the Wednesday matinee performance of the Broadway show’s national tour in Chicago — and it’s safe to say the two young theater fans had the time of their lives.
In avideo shared to Cirillo’s Instagramon Thursday, Elena and Amelia can be seen jumping out of their seats and singing along to the show’s finale at the CIBC Theatre, and the cast and crew of the musical have taken notice — even waving to them from the stage during the curtain call.
“By coincidence, we ran into the bass player of the show in the parking garage, and we got to meet her and take pictures with her,” Cirillo adds. “It was just beyond incredible.”
Janetta Sherrell Goines, the bassist on theSixtour, also shared her experience of meeting Elena and Amelia after the show.
“I don’t think y’all understand how cute these adorable princesses were at our show today,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “It literally made my whole day. This is who I do it for!”

Their mother also tells PEOPLE that her Instagram post has started an important conversation about the arts.
“They love all musicals, so we listen toHairspray, and we talk about race; and we listen toThe Greatest Showmanand talk about being proud to be unique; and they listen toProm, and we talk about how important it is to just love who you love; andSixwith being brave and speaking your truth, and these are just really important conversations,” she says.
“I’m just so thankful that we have the arts to teach empathy and love and acceptance. It’s beautiful.”
