Cast member George Lee Andrews and producer Andy Sandberg snapped the troupe from boarding at Newark International Airport to London excursions to backstage at the theatre.
The production boasts the talents of Kate Baldwin, Shuler Hensley, Judy Kaye, Mandy Patinkin, John McMartin, Nancy Opel, George Lee Andrews, Amanda Kloots-Larsen, Lacey Kohl, Herndon Lackey, Daniel Marcus, Jim Poulos, Martin Van Treuren and Pamela Winslow Kashani.

But she's in love with a Baron, who's having an affair with the Soap Manufacturer's Wife…"
