This new production is sung in English and backed by a rock orchestra.
The cast includes Ryan Silverman (Side Show) as Don Giovanni, Richard Coleman (My Fair Lady national tour) as Leporello, Rachel Zatcoff (The Phantom of the Opera) as Donna Elvira, Alyssa Giannetti (Love Never Dies national tour) as Donna Anna, Felipe Bombonato (Les Misérables) as Don Ottavio, and Edwin Jhamaal Davis as The Commander, with Sophie Belkin, Kevin Hegmann, and Sean Mannix.
