The production will also feature sets by David Korins, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Peter Hylenski, projection design by Peter Nigrini, puppets by Michael Curry, special effects by Jeremy Chernick, and illusions by Michael Weber. Kris Kukul will serve as music director.
