Robert Spencer as Dan - 1st Act, Michael Berry as Dan (u/s) - 2nd Act, Aaron Tveit as Gabe, Jennifer Damiano as Natalie, Adam Chanler-Berat as Henry, Louis Hobson as Dr. Madden & Dr. Fine |

Robert Spencer as Dan [last show], Kyle Dean Massey as Gabe, Jennifer Damiano as Natalie, Adam Chanler-Berat as Henry, Louis Hobson as Dr. Fine & Dr. Madden |
