The entire original Off-Broadway company will transfer to Broadway, including de'Adre Aziza, Daniel Breaker, Eisa Davis, Colman Domingo, Chad Goodridge, Rebecca Naomi Jones and co-creator Stew. A band of musicians joins the cast onstage, including co-creator Rodewald, along with Jon Spurney and Christian Cassan.
