Nikita shared his excitement over his upcoming tour“I want the show to be the best thing they’ve ever seen. That’s also the power of the theatre. It’s the only way to communicate today, especially with the movies. It’s the only place you can hold the audience for two hours, and there is no phone in sight.”

“It’s just you and this beautiful interaction like we’re having right now. I think it’s so powerful. I feel like I need to give the audience back everything they deserve.”
