Also part of the creative team are Sam Davis (music supervision and arrangements), Daryl Waters and Davis (orchestrations), David Loud (vocal arrangements) with music direction by Alvin Hough Jr. Foresight Theatrical are general managers while casting (for a company of 31) is being handled by Jim Carnahan and Jason Thinger.
The show will begin performances on Broadway in March 2023, with a venue to be revealed.
