Robb Sapp? Really?

Michael McElroy was the Masked Man and Eric Millegan was Moritz.

I want to know who the Ilse is. I though she was amazing.

Wasn't Trey Ellet (from RENT) involved in a workshop of the show at some point?

According to a bio I found online, Nikki M. James was involved in this workshop. I think she was Martha, but at that point "The Dark I Know Well" hadn't been written yet.

Haha, yes. A friend messaged Gavin Creel and he gave us a response. Not very thorough, he doesn't remember who played what or most people's last names but here's what he said:

Chris Garneau as Hanschen (LOVE him. Buy his CD.)
Alex Brummel (?)
Nikki M. James (Martha)
Michael Benjamin Washington (?)
Genna _______ (?)
Bridget Berger (?)
John Sullivan (?)

By the way, I think this is what he was trying to say. Gavin is a very interesting.....typer. It's like barely spaced. Anyways! I'm gonna do some Googling and see if I can narrow some things down.

That sounds like a really cool cast, sucks it was so long ago, most of them could never pull off the age now next to some of the kids in there.

A little off topic. Did you know that they had an earlier workshop? Fall 1999 - 5-day workshop at the La Jolla Playhouse (10 scenes and 8 songs). Followed by a 3-week workshop in the summer of 2000 at Robert Redford's Sundance Theater Lab for its first full draft. I got that from their program.

Can someone help me with what were the names of the characters that were written in the show, but later removed. And more importantly, what was their character like? I know the Masked Man is one. I thought there were others.

One of the girls' roles was created. I believe it was Anna.
Another was Lammemeier, which is technically the last name of Otto.
