Overview
- Producers announced that the cast is complete with Marla Mindelle and Josh Sharp reprising the lead roles and viral performer Ashby Florence making her New York stage debut.
- New additions Richard Perez and Phillip Taratula join the company in multiple parts, with Perez billed as Jaff and Taratula as Katherine Hepburn among other roles.
- Kevin Zak’s script will be directed by Skylar Fox and supported by a full design team that includes dots (scenic), Wilberth Gonzalez (costumes) and Stacey Derosier (lighting).
- Benson Drive Productions and LD Entertainment are producing the show for a limited November–December engagement at New World Stages rather than a long commercial transfer.
- The play retools Dickens’ A Christmas Carol into a dark comedy about awards rituals and celebrity mythology, a choice that leans on recognized stage names and social‑media reach to draw holiday and awards‑season audiences.
