Limelight is financing the project and will produce alongside 3Pas Studios and Big Swing Productions, in association with Boies Schiller Entertainment. Valerie Stadler, Kyra Sedgwick, Ben Odell, Derbez, Lin-Manuel Miranda and 5000 Broadway Productions, Dylan Sellers and Chris Parker will produce.
David Boies and Zack Schiller serve as executive producers with CJ Barbato co-producing.
