The lead 'older' female roles were all taken from Player's alumni. Jenny Dreessen played the role as Donna, while Molly Hall and Beaven Walters played Tanya and Rosie respectively.
One of the more hilarious scenes was with Beaven trying to seduce Bill (Jeff Pettiross). This from the person who was Maria in the second production of Sound of Music.
Jason Gingold played Sam but wasn't matched up with his wife, Molly Hall. Keith A. Gehrig played Harry.
Kevin Tanner and Emily Wallace played the young couple whose wedding is inadvertently highjacked as the bride-to-be tries to discover who her father is by inviting the three potential candidates to her wedding without telling her mother.
Music Director Ben Bentler made it his goal to make the musical numbers to be as close to the origianal first releases by ABBA as possible. Molly Hall choreographied the dance numbers to be as realistically disco as possible. The encore number had the audience dancing in the 'aisles' in every performance.
Coupled with the great response to Newsies! in the spring, 2019 was one of the most successful seasons in recent memory attendance-wise.
