Finneran is a two-time Tony winner for her roles in Noises Off and Promises, Promises. She was last seen on Broadway in 2014's It's Only a Play. Foley, who made his Broadway debut in The Violet Hour in 2003, boasts a large film and television resumé, including roles in the series Scandal, Felicity, Whiskey Cavalier, and The Big Leap. He will next be seen in the HBO Max series Girls on the Bus. Sullivan originated the role of Hermes in the Off-Broadway production of Hadestown, and was last on Broadway in Nice Work If You Can Get It. He is a two-time Emmy nominee for his role as Toby Damon in the NBC hit drama series This Is Us.
