Show 5
26th April, 2024
It was a full house for show #5, on April 26, 2024. The show somehow managed to spill over and resulted in some audience members voluntarily standing. All the tellers hit their marks with authentic, varied stories. According to many viewers who were surveyed later, one of the more memorable things were 2 tellers - decades apart in age - whose stories were set in Waltham High school and revolved around a Rubik's cube. They told disparate stories that touched many hearts and each live-solved Rubik's cubes during the other's story! The raffle, fittingly, was 3 Rubik's cubes that were solved on stage by the tellers as well as the usual WaW tote bags.
