It was in this special that she expressed her lifelong dream: "to be a star on stage". Her wish was made to come true thanks to a local singing and performing group "The Accents", who invited her to be part of their Christmas show at Glace Bay's Savoy Theatre. For Adele this was "the icing on the cake". She got a standing ovation from the audience and surely was "THE STAR" that night!
