The Sharpe Family Singers, a multi‐generational musical group from New Jersey, delivered an unforgettable audition on “America’s Got Talent” Season 18 with their heartfelt rendition of “How Far I’ll Go” from Disney’s *Moana*. Comprising Broadway veteran parents Ron and Barbra alongside their children Samantha, Logan, Connor, and Aidan, the family introduced themselves with warmth and authenticity. Their harmonies and stage presence impressed all four judges—Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel—earning them a unanimous “yes” vote.
The backstory immediately added charm to their performance: Ron and Barbra met on stage during a Broadway production of *Les Misérables* over three decades ago, and music has been a constant in their lives and their children’s upbringing. NBC Insider described their act as “incredible,” highlighting how the family’s love of song has carried them through years of both touring and creating viral moments on TikTok during the pandemic. Their joyful energy and natural unity translated into a genuinely touching family showcase.
The judges responded enthusiastically: Sofia Vergara praised them as “perfection,” Howie Mandel confessed they changed his mind about musical theater, and Heidi Klum said they embodied her dream of performing with family on stage. Simon Cowell, though briefly voiceless, conveyed his admiration through Vergara, likening their wholesome charm to “apple pie” and quintessential Americana. With that magical audition, the Sharpe clan not only advanced to the next round but also won the affection of viewers and judges alike, leaving a lasting impression well beyond their performance night.
