Jacks (Night of the Living Dead) as Geri, Lacretta (Disaster, Avenue Q) as Samantha, Ian Michael Stuart (Escape to Margaritaville) as Kurt/Larry/Others, Morgan Weed (American Psycho) as Neurosalina, and Kevin Zak (Waitress; Clinton: The Musical) as Frank.

Neurosis featured choreography by Shea Sullivan, music direction by David Aaron Brown, orchestrations and arrangements by Ben Green, scenic design by Lucille Lortel nominee Charlie Corcoran, lighting design by Jake DeGroot, costume design by Tony Award nominee Michael McDonald, sound design by David Sanderson, casting by Jason Styres, CSA / Andrea Zee, CSA, and the PSM was Gregory Fletcher.

Neurosis was produced Off-Broadway by Light Cotton Productions LLC in association with Alexander Productions, Happy Tales Productions, Janis Horn & Roger Ehrlich, and Nancy Demb Maccoby, with ABS Productions as Executive Producer.

"We are incredibly excited to be working with Stage Rights and JAY Records as we continue our journey with Neurosis," said the authors. "We were humbled by the enthusiastic response to the Off-Broadway production, and it was wonderful to premiere the show with such an extraordinary cast and team. We are excited that their performances will live on through this Original Cast Album, and we look forward to seeing many future casts put their own unique stamp on this work in the years to come!"

In addition to the original eight-actor musical, the authors have a created a flexible version of Neurosis that can be performed with as few as six actors.

Stage Rights, the company that represents the Marvelous Wonderettes franchise, also licenses two Off-Broadway plays co-authored by Greg Edwards & Andy Sandberg, Application Pending and Craving for Travel.
