Creating LOVESTRUCK was a collaborative process between Writer, Matthew Sherman, Director, Mark Sherman, and Music Director, Jessica West.
“One thing Matt , Mark, and I wanted to keep in mind when constructing the show was that everyone has their own unique talents and styles,” explains West, “ so we gave them solos that really showcase those styles.”
Cast member Nick McKinnon can speak to the synergy between the cast and creative team , “The cast has had a ton of input into various components that ended up defining the production, and the director, writer, and musical director have been very receptive of our ideas.”
