Director Michael Arden said: “I’m beyond excited to welcome my longtime friend and singular artist Shoshana Bean to the cast as Lucy. Shoshana brings an electrifying voice, a fearless heart, and a deep humanity to everything she touches, onstage and off. I cannot wait for audiences to experience the power and soul she will unleash in this role. She has inspired so many and having her at the helm of our extraordinary company is truly an embarrassment of riches.”
