In Other World, Sri and Lorraine are in a garage on earth, where they are magically transported into Sri’s favorite video game.

The production will have music direction by Amanda Morton, set design by Mary Hamrick Williamson, costume design by Tilly Grimes, associate costume design by Caity Mulkearns, lighting design by Grant Yeager, associate lighting design by Alexandra Mannix, sound design by Hidenori Nakajo, associate sound design by Sam Kusnetz, projection design by Lucy Mackinnon, associate projection design by Nitsan Scharf and SooA Kim, wig, hair, and makeup design by Cassie J. Williams, assistant wig, hair, and makeup design by Caroline Schettler, with puppet design and direction by Fergus J. Walsh, Stefano Brancato, and Matt Acheson. The production stage manager is Sara Barnes.

[title of show]—the musical that, according to a fan-favorite song in the show, would rather be nine people's favorite thing than 100 people's ninth favorite thing—premiered at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2004 before playing the Vineyard Theatre in 2006 and a subsequent Broadway transfer—featuring the entire original cast (Bowen and Bell as well as co-stars Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff).

Bell earned a Tony nomination for the book of the musical, about two guys writing a musical—about two guys writing a musical.

The four stars of [title of show] also collaborated on Now. Here. This., which premiered at the Vineyard.
