"My birthday wish is to beat this damn cancer. Sam turns around to the entire group of— there's almost 3,000 people, this is pre-show at the Orpheum in Vancouver— and says to the crowd, all the lights are on, show's kind of like we're in pre-show zone, says to the entire crowd, who here wants to grant that birthday wish for Colleen? The entire theater erupted onto their feet, jumping up and down and screaming and shouting for Colleen. She collapsed in tears."
During a Mother's Day matinee show in Vancouver, a woman named Colleen shared her birthday wish to beat cancer during the pre-show warmup. The moment transformed into a standing ovation from 3,000 strangers rallying for her recovery. Robbins called it the highlight of the entire tour, demonstrating how strangers can unite in celebration of someone's fight for life.
