The creative team will include Tom Lynch (scenic design), Ilona Somogyi (costume design), Allen Lee Hughes (lighting design), Dwight Andrews (original music), and Tim Thompson (sound design).

Kritzer’s many stage credits include Sondheim on Sondheim, A Catered Affair, Legally Blonde, The Memory Show, POP! , Rooms A Rock Romance, On The Town, The Great American Trailer Park Musical, and Bat Boy.
