The cast will also include Chad Bradford (Balladeer), Nakeisha Daniel (Ensemble), Manada Frennier (Ensemble), Julia Freyer (Nadjira/Dance Captain), Robert Henry (Ensemble), Clory C. Jackson (Snake, Ensemble), Ben Loving (Mr. Fallible, Ensemble), Lara Mielcarek (Narrator/Fairy Godmother/Ensemble), Matthew Moore (Ensemble), Jeffrey Nunez (Ensemble), Nick Reynolds (Ensemble), Jamila Saberes-Klemm (Ensemble), Raymond Sage (King Arik/Producer), and Luke Virkstis (Ensemble).

Davie — who will play Eve, Barbara, and Ella — received a Theatre World Award for Grey Gardens and additional credits include the Broadway production of Curtains and Off-Broadway’s The Glorious Ones. She will also play Guenevere later this summer in Goodspeed’s Camelot. Roland — who will play Adam, Sanjar, and Flip — has appeared on Broadway in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Follies, and The Scarlet Pimpernel.
