López’s The Inheritance began at London’s Young Vic in 2018 and won both Olivier and Tony awards for best play. Walker-Webb’s credits include Ain’t No Mo’, and he is artistic director of Baltimore Center Stage. Monét studied choral performance at New York’s Professional Performing Arts School and opera at Westminster Choir College. She is also known for RuPaul’s Drag Race and All Stars.[1]
