This was the most interesting part.

Question: @NightMusicBway Are there character choices attached to the particular accent (or fluctuation in accent) of each cast member?

Answer
@jufu_0 Yes, and I know that is a question of many. Trevor wanted the production to be mid atlantic.

@jufu_0 Because half of us are British, Trevor wanted us to meet in the middle. But each dialect to have just a hint.

@jufu_0 Mine is of the west country to give a class separation between myself and the others.

People were wondering why Leigh Ann had a different accent from the rest. I figured that was the reason why, the class separation.

Her accent is obviously different to distinguish between classes, but she doesn't do it well. A third of the time I thought she was Irish, another third of the time I thought she was English, and the rest of the time I thought she was American.
