This touring production is also directed by Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld. In a statement Steinfeld said, “The key element in every Fiasco show is the sense of ensemble that the audience sees on stage. What you’re seeing is not a group of individuals, but an actual group—like seeing a band or a choir. We’re really listening, breathing, and thinking together.”
The tour brings together the Dodgers (current producers of Jersey Boys and Matilda) and the original Tony Award-winning producers of Into the Woods and its Broadway revival with NETworks Presentations (South Pacific, The Phantom of the Opera, War Horse).
The creative team includes Derek McLane (sets), Whitney Locher (costumes), Christopher Akerlind (lighting), Darron L. West and Charles Coes (sound), Lisa Shriver (choreographer), Matt Castle (music supervision), and Frank Galgano and Castle (orchestrations).
