The composer said she is excited to see what Dr. Lawson has brought to the production. “I know he’s been working really hard on it for many months now,” Santoriello said. “Having a cast with a mix of professional and student actors will also be a treat.”
The 65-member cast which includes BJU students and staff will be accompanied by the BJU orchestra directed by Dr. Michael Moore. BJU is also pleased to feature guest artists Glenn Seven Allen, Patrick Dunn, Christopher Johnstone, Laura McCulloch, Tony Mowatt and Olivia Vadnais.
