The creative team behind the production includes esteemed talent from well-known theatrical works such as Dimension 20 and Marvel’s Rogers: The Musical.
Beyond merely watching the performance, audience members will also have the chance to participate in various interactive games such as trivia, charades, and Fantasy Beer Pong, enhancing the live experience. This emphasis on engagement ensures that each show is an unpredictable and unique event for attendees.
