David Burnham - David Burnham just returned from New York where he played Fiyero in the Broadway production of "Wicked" having created the role in the original Los Angeles workshop productions. David was a member of the original Broadway cast of the 6-time Tony Award winning musical "The Light In The Piazza," performing on both the Tony Awards and the PBS telecast Live From Lincoln Center. David was the 2007 recipient of the prestigious "Helen Hayes Award" for best actor as well as the 2007 best actor "Garland Award" for his portrayal of Fabrizio Nacarelli in the national tour of "The Light In The Piazza."

In New York City, he lent his talent to the Actor's Fund production of "On The 20th Century" at The New Amsterdam Theatre and performed his solo concert at the famed New York jazz club "Birdland" and the "Metropolitan Room".

David first gained critical acclaim when, after a two year search, he was chosen to replace Donny Osmond in the national tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" (Dramalogue Award) a role which he has subsequently played four more times in productions all over the country. 

Christine Andreas - Christine Andreas returned to Broadway in April 2010 and is currently playing Jacqueline in the Tony Award-winning production of La Cage Aux Folles with Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge. Prior to La Cage, she received nation-wide raves starring as Margaret Johnson in the 55 week national tour of the Tony Award winning musical, The Light In The Piazza.
Best known for her work on Broadway, Ms. Andreas burst onto the New York theatre scene starring as Eliza Doolittle in the 20th Anniversary production of My Fair Lady of the Royal Shakespeare Company and garnering the Theatre World Award. Ms. Andreas received two Tony nominations re-creating Laurey in Oklahoma! and as Frankie Frayne in On Your Toes. Ms. Andreas created the role of Marguerite St. Just on Broadway in the original production of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Engagements in New York at the Café Carlyle and the Algonquin's Oak Room prompted the New York Times to extol, "She delicately kills with the sheer beauty of her voice...She finds a blend of lyricism and sweet sensuality that only the finest Broadway voices can conjure." Her Carnegie Hall debut was hailed as ‘brilliant', ‘delicious' and ‘sexy' in Variety. The LA Times called her "a mesmerizing musical presence."
