Directed by Brett Sullivan, the film includes Brett Sullivan’s directing work and features a front-row view of a show that previously toured Broadway and the London West End over six years.

The principal cast filmed for the release includes Reeve Carney as Orpheus, Andre De Shields as Hermes, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice, Amber Gray as Persephone, and Patrick Page as Hades.
