Neal, and makeup design by Joe Dulude II.

The work was conceived by Jason Kim and the Woodshed Collective, and featuring a book by Kim with music, lyrics, as well as music and lyrics by Max Vernon. The musical, which won three Lucille Lortel Awards including Outstanding Musical, first opened Off-Broadway in 2017 in its world premiere at Ars Nova. Ma-Yi Theater and the Woodshed Collective also contributed to bringing KPOP to the stage. It was also awarded the 2018 Richard Rodgers Award and an Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Unique Theatrical Experience.
