Emma Hunton made her Broadway debut at age 16 as Ilse in the Tony Award-winning musical Spring Awakening. She previously toured with Les Misérables as Young Cosette, co-starred in Distracted with Rita Wilson, and appeared in the film Happy Endings.

Music director Trapper Felides is thrilled to be back on stage at LPR where he last stood when The Meeting (with Justin Sayre) did a summer benefit for the Ali Forney Center. Recent concert work includes Our Hit Parade, Trapper's Greatest Hits, The Molly Pope Show, and Bridget Everett's We've Got Tonight (all at Joe's Pub).
