To round out her musical selections for the evening Crystal performed some of her spiritual songs
 
which included, to the delight of all, I Saw the Light.

After the show, OPAS Circles Members were treated to a champagne reception with Crystal
 
and her band backstage where she graciously chatted with each of the attendees and posed
 
for pictures. After the Meet and Greet, fans also had a chance to meet Crystal and get their
