But his encounters with the townspeople and a young woman looking for love threaten to change his mind and alter his ultimate destiny."
The show features costume design by Lara de Bruijn, scenic design by Stephen Dobay, lighting design by Driscoll Otto and orchestrations by Steve Cohen.
The show is produced by Jacob S. Porter of Retrop Production with Alan & Judi Altman, John & Kelly Waller, Cheryl Sloane, Jackie Garrido, Katie Sloan, and Joel & Jennifer Allan.
