The creative team includes Matt Hinkley (music direction/arrangements), Katie Young (stage manager), Charlie Rosen (orchestrations), Nessie Nankivell (graphic design), Lindsay Jones (sound) and Caite Hevner (projections) with Madeline Smith on piano and Joe Mowatt on drums.
A Little More Alive is described as a “captivating new pop musical” about the two brothers. “An unexpected discovery upends every memory they have—and it becomes their mission to learn the truth about their family; but, along the way, Nate and Jeremy find that no one is exempt from the gray area between right and wrong.”
