In Shining Armor

In Shining Armor is a heartfelt tribute to the heroes in our lives, both legendary and everyday. The show begins with the whimsical Homeward Bound from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, introducing the classic image of a knight in shining armor before transitioning into Sia’s empowering Unstoppable and a dramatic mashup of the two. The ballad segment highlights the inner courage we all possess, blending Charlie Puth’s One Call Away with David Bowie’s Heroes to create a moving reminder that anyone can rise to the occasion. The finale shifts the spotlight to everyday heroes—first responders, teachers, doctors, and loved ones—anchored by My Hero by the Foo Fighters, using the lyric “There goes my hero! He’s ordinary.” as a powerful and emotional closing theme.
