The ensemble cast includes Chelcie Abercrombie, Kyle Anderson, Eddie Andrews, Brooke Ariel, Jeanne Averill, Abigail Becker, Olivia Bosaw, David Clark, Arthur Clifford, Brad Dawdy, Evan Gamsu, PT Mahoney, Emma Mae Marsten, David Pope, Layne Roate, Mark Sepulveda, Simon Schupp, and Terrace Wyatt, Jr.

The creative team features music direction by Ty Tuttle, scenic design by Mark A. Exline, lighting design by Amanda Zieve, costumes by Nancy Robinson, sound design by Jon Robertson, choreography by Marc Wayne, technical direction by Rafael Toribo, production management by Kyle Womelduff, and production stage management by Lacey Willis.

The musicians include Tuttle on piano, Alyssa Bell on viola, Joey Panella on bass, Alla Wijnands on violin, and Dana Woolard Hughlett on cello.

 

"Titanic is a musical people don't have a lot of opportunities to see performed live, due to its perceived size and scope," intimated Scott. "We're excited to present this glorious score in an innovative way and showcase these compelling stories for Kansas City audiences."
