In Spring of 2025, Loretta Greco called me up and asked me to direct this - my first big kid regional theatre production, and in the amazing arts city of Boston. A world-class crew, cast of superheroes, on a proscenium stage with 720 seats in the house, automation, an incredible prop cadaver, union pit orchestra (in the sky), professional child stars, and some of the best written musical theater material that a director can have the chance to work on.
