Wow oh wow! What a talented group of tomatoes. The auditions were super competitive this year and we are so proud to announce our 2016 Tomatoes Got Talent finalists.  By day they’re legal secretaries, artists, boutique owners, retired flight attendants, Wall Street money managers, computer geeks, and more.  Our youngest finalists were born in the 1970s and our oldest finalist was born in 1925 (but we’re not saying who.)  Join us on Sunday, March 13 at the Triad in NYC when they take the stage and turn into super stars.
