Making up the cast are May Tether as Jessie, Ivan Gonzalez as Dan, Kelly Sweeney as Sam, Elena Gyasi as Zoe, Matteo Johnson as Lewis, Jacob Dachtler as Will, Lenny Turner as Josh and Jena Pandya as Natalie.
Halls previously held an online reading in 2020 and released a a first listen to the musical with a number of West End stars getting together to showcase the opening number ‘Flat 15B’. It was also previously performed in workshop form at MTFest 2022.
