The production will also feature set design by Don Carson, costume design by Mary Mikkelsen and lighting design by Michael Peterson. The chorus master is Dr. John Jantzi, and Andrew Bisantz will conduct the orchestra.

Christiane Noll, who received a Tony nomination for her performance in the revival of Ragtime, made her Broadway debut as Emma Carew in Frank Wildhorn's Jekyll & Hyde. She later joined the Broadway company of It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues and starred in the City Center Encores! production of The New Moon.
