They must find a way to work together and, with the aid of fellow gamers and their avatars, survive the game to discover a way home.
The creative team also features choreographer Tānemahuta Gray, musical supervisor Mary-Mitchell Campbell, orchestrators Christopher Jahnke and Scott Wasserman, music director Michael Gacetta, and fight director Danielle O’Dea, with casting by Paul Hardt of Stewart/Whitley and general management by Alchemy Production Group.
