NJ Agwuna. Music director is 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.
Gary Busey will star as God, or as he is referred to in Only Human, "The Boss." Busey's film breakthrough came with the title role in The
Buddy Holly Story, for which he played guitar, and provided all of his own vocals. He received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his performance. He has appeared in over 150 films, including Lethal Weapon, Point Break, Under Siege, The Firm, Lost Highway, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, among many others. His television appearances include "Gunsmoke," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Law & Order," "Scrubs," and "Entourage." His memoir, Buseyisms:
Gary Busey's Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, was published last year by St. Martin's Press.
Additional casting will be announced in coming weeks.
The creative team features scenic design by Andrew Moerdyk, costume design by Avery Reed, and lighting design by Eric Norbury.
Foresight Theatrical serves as general manager.
Tracks from the Only Human "Composer Cuts" EP and Squillante's "Only Human" remix are available on
Spotify and
Apple Music.
