God is in the details. Producer Jesse Murphy of Jesse|James Films has just announced casting for the world premiere of Only Human, a new pop-rock musical starring Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated and BAFTA Award-winning actor Gary Busey as God. Rehearsals begin Tuesday, September 10, in New York City.
Busey will be joined by
Mike Squillante, lead singer of the rock band Running Lights and
Only Human's composer/lyricist, as 'Lou,'
Kim Steele (Summer: The
Donna Summer Musical, My Fair Lady) as 'Maggie,' and Evan Maltby (roles with New York Musical Festival, Musicals Tonight, The Flea Theatre) as 'J.C.' The production also features
Ben Bogen (Frozen, Jersey Boys national tour),
Lili Thomas (The Hello Girls), and
Charles West (The Scarlet Pimpernel).
Only Human begins previews on October 8, 2019 and opens October 21, 2019 at Theatre at St. Clements (423 West 46th Street). The production will play a limited engagement through January 5, 2020 only.

Mike Squillante, based on a story by Jesse Murphy and
Mike Squillante. The production is choreographed by
Josue Jasmin and directed by
NJ Agwuna. Orchestrations, arrangements and musical direction is by Adrià Barbosa.
Only Human was developed last year with a workshop at Oklahoma City University.
Before they were enemies, they were co-workers. Jesus and Lucifer never saw eye-to-eye, but when an extreme case of creative differences gets the best of them, all hell breaks loose...literally. A hilarious new musical of biblical proportions,
Only Human shakes up heaven with kick-ass pop rock tunes and corporate attire.
The creative team features scenic design by
Andrew Moerdyk, costume design by
Avery Reed, lighting design by
Eric Norbury and sound design by Benjamin Scheff. Production stage manager is
Emely Zepeda. Production management is by Senovva.
Foresight Theatrical serves as general manager.
The production is produced by Jesse Murphy, co-founder of Jesse|James Films, with partner James Sears Bryant. Additional producers are Gylden Entertainment, Gary & Sharon Jarrard, James Raby, Mary & Dick Meisterling, Amy Hassinger, Steve Becker, and Jela Okpara.
Tracks from the
Only Human "Composer Cuts" EP are available on Spotify and Apple Music.
