The lineup is set to include Caroline Bowman, Phil Colgan, Tatianna Córdoba, Josh Dela Cruz, David Merino, 2024 Jimmy Award winner Gretchen Shope and Joshua Turchin.

Joining them as guiding lights are Tony Award nominee Charlotte d’Amboise and Tshidi Manye, who recently ended her 9,000-performance run as Rafiki in The Lion King – the longest in the show’s history.

Audiences will also be treated to exclusive previews of two original works in development: Starting Up: The Musical by Troy Press and Garett Press, and the new rock opera Blood/Love by Carey Sharpe and Grammy Award nominee Dru DeCaro.
