Hamilton Latzen played the daughter of Michael Douglas and Ann Archer in the film and "was done up oddly boyish in the movie; a fact that this parody has not left unnoticed," state production notes. "We feel like Ellen is going to get a kick out of a man playing her character. She was a child when the film was made, so I think she will only find it funny," stated director Timothy Haskell. The show is a spoofy homage to the 1987 film about adultery and obsession. As its title indicates, a Greek chorus comments on the racy scenes acted out by "Glenn Close" and "Michael Douglas" (because who remembers the character names?)Written by Alana McNair and Kate Wilkinson, the play stars Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Stand by Me) and McNair. Kellie Arens, Nick Arens, Ebony Cross, Aaron Haskell, Sergio Lobito, McNair and Wilkinson also appear in the show with Rebeca Ramirez handling the dance choreography, Rod Kinter the fight choreography, Wendy Yang the costume design, Tyler Micoleau the lighting, Paul Smithyman the sets, Faye Armon the props, and Vincent Olivieri responsible for the sound design.
