Sam sings independently and as the front woman of the Evil Gal Blues Band.

He has been the lead singer in a band for the past three years and has appeared in multiple musicals, including Big Fish with The Riverside Players, as well as 9 to 5: The Musical and Beauty and the Beast (as Maurice) at East Central College. With a background in choir and a passion for musical theatre, Kyle brings a rich, expressive voice and heartfelt energy to every performance.
Leann Gioia has been pursuing her professional career in NYC since 2014, after receiving her BA in English and BFA in Dance at the University of Iowa. She shares her poetry at open mic nights in NYC and utilizes it in her work as a dancer and choreographer.
