Lane’s musical has been seen in a variety of different formats since its first inception, having first been staged on socially distanced pick-up trucks when its off-Broadway run was derailed by the pandemic lockdowns. It went on to perform two concerts at Carnegie Hall in 2022, before a West End concert at the Lyric Theatre in 2023.

SuperYou features an entirely female band consisting of musical director Jenny Deacon, associate musical director Issie Osborne, Maria Rocha, Laura Williams and Ashley Young.

It has direction and choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter (Bad Cinderella, School Of Rock), music supervision by Wendy Bobbit Cavett (Come From Away, Hamilton), set design by Tony-nominated Anna Louizos (In The Heights, School of Rock),  costume design by Cynthia Nordstrom (Rocktopia), sound design by Tony Gayle (My Neighbour Totoro), lighting design by Ryan O’Gara (Thoughts Of A Colored Man), and video design by Caite Hevner (Derren Brown: Secret).

Bozier will once more associate choreograph and Billy Mitchell joins as associate director. Casting is by Pearson Casting, produced by Melissa M. Jones / All Awesome LLC with general management by Anthology Theatre Productions.
