After scoring critical acclaim and sold out performances earlier this
fall in Brooklyn, immersive dance-theater hit THE HIDDEN ONES returns
for and extended run beginning November 1 at an undisclosed venue in
Midtown Manhattan near the 50th Street stop on the A/C subway line.
Presented by Miller-Coffman Productions, THE HIDDEN ONES was conceived
and directed by Anthony Logan Cole (Les Miserables, Curiosities) and
choreographed by Whitney Sprayberry (Seeing You, Jagged Little Pill).
THE HIDDEN ONES is set near the end of World War II. An audience of 6
members per performance begins their journey in a secret location,
where they are smuggled into a world of true stories of those forced
into hiding. THE HIDDEN ONES brings the audience face to face not only
with history, but with stories of raw love and humanity as they
observe two families working to overcome extraordinary circumstances
in the darkest of times. It is about how hope can survive turmoil, how
passion can thrive in the bleakest of times, and how silence can speak
deafening volumes.
The cast for THE HIDDEN ONES includes Jay Stuart, Chris Jumper, Marley
Madding, Rakel Aroyo, Amar Biamonte, Monica Blaze Leavitt, Sophia
Andreyev, Anthony Logan Cole, and Bryan S. Walton. The production team
includes immersive, Broadway, and film veterans who have crafted
unique experiences for each of the show’s audience members. The team
includes: Scenic Design and Art by Braden Hooter, Technical
Supervision by Christina Verde, Production Management by Tyler Oberle,
and General Management by Green Lite Productions. It is produced by
Stephen Miller, Jess Weiss, John Lant, Tyler Oberle, Lyle Sterne, and
Dave Morrissey Jr.
