Details are scarce about the new comedy's plot, though press notes describe the show as "the new musical comedy that proves sometimes tearing down a few walls, rather than growing them, is the only way to preserve our way of life."

Rounding out the company in the ensemble are Miki Abraham, Dwayne Clark, Rheaume Crenshaw, Kaitlyn Davidson, Jaygee Macapugay, Scott Stangland, Esteban Suero, Yasmeen Sulieman, Quinn VanAntwerp, and Alan Wiggins.

Joining O'Brien on the creative team are choreographer Sarah O'Gleby, music supervisor Jason Howland, scenic designer Scott Pask, costume designer Tilly Grimes, lighting designer Japhy Weideman, sound designer John Shivers, music director and conductor Daniel Edmonds, and hair and wig designer Mia Neal.
