Directed and choreographed by Michael Chase Gosselin, the cast will be led by Ralph Byers (The Music Man, Big River) as Ben Franklin with Brennan Caldwell (Baghdaddy), Sandra DeNise (Bright Star, Kinky Boots), and George Merrick (Honeymoon in Vegas, South Pacific).

Over the course of this 90-minute musical comedy, Ben is passed from a hedge fund manager to a stripper, to a judge, to his mistress who’s a nun to ... well, you get the idea. Armed with a lifetime of famous sayings, Ben must convince everyone to change their priorities before it's too late.”

The production will also have scenic design by Ann Beyersdorfer, costume design by Vanessa Leuck, lighting design by Catherine Clark, sound design by Patrick LaChance, projection design by Ido Levran, and casting by Jason Styres, CSA.
