The musical explores identity, mental health, and friendship through comedy and role reversal.

The production is directed, designed, and produced by Benny Lee Harris Lumpkins Jr. Music direction is by Edward Trimis, with executive producing by the Villegas family in association with Dai-See Productions.

The cast will feature Donnie Sarabia as Chase and Tyler Vazquez as Sam, alongside Chima Rok, Delvin Harrington, Angelina Melendez, Dan Saunders, Mari Mar Lopez, Biola Fatusin, and Brenna Baines.
