Hume, Frankie LaPace, Nick Moore, Eugene Michael Santiago, and Ian Schulz.Directed by Robert Ribar, with set design by Jason Sherwood, costume design by Danielle Mahoney, lighting design by William Noguchi, original music by Ryan Marino, and choreography by Fuerza Bruta cast member Ben Hobbs.Videos
