Adinah Alexander has been on Broadway in Kinky Boots, Wedding Singer, Wicked, Urban Cowboy and Parade.

Kenn Boisinger has been electrifying audiences with his distinctive voice and signature style for decades. Born and raised in the Cleveland suburb of Parma, Ohio, Kenn and the Boisinger family lived next door to the Hector Boiardi family. Hector Boiardi was better known as the famous Chef Boy-ar-dee and at the age of eight, Kenn was credited with coining the name “Beef-a-roni.” At sixteen, Kenn was entered in a national “Robert Goulet Look-Alike Contest,” the finals of which were held during a broadcast of the “Merv Griffin Show.” Kenn placed third among all of the contestants and made a lasting connection with the “Merv Griffin Show” staff. Because of his affable nature and textbook standard size, he spent a number of years working as a stand-in for lighting for the Griffin show, becoming friends with a diverse crowd of notable personalities, from George Hamilton to Dr. Joyce Brothers to Sammy Davis Jr.’s wife, Altovise. Kenn has appeared in major venues throughout the continental United States, from Bangor, Maine to Hollywood (Florida) to the performing arts center on his beloved Staten Island, which Kenn and his family have called home since 1985. As a songwriter and recording artist, Kenn has a number of multiple-selling albums Best, K.B., Boisinger Sings Boisinger, Stay for the Loud Note, Kenn by Request, Sacred Songs for Lutherans and Others, Can’t We Put the ‘Mas’ Back in Christmas, Broadway Kenn’s Way and possibly more. In addition to his many show business achievements, Kenn was Amway Regional Salesman of the Quarter in fall of 1989 and was Radio Shack Regional Manager of the Month for the Egbertville district of Staten Island in August of 1997.
David Edwards and Michael McAssey have known each other for decades and have collaborated on many theatre and cabaret projects. David made his professional debut as a child in the Broadway musical The Rothschilds. Other Broadway/National Tour credits include The Producers and By Jeeves. Off-Broadway, he was the final “El Gallo” in the record-breaking original run of The Fantasticks and starred in the critically acclaimed revival of Room Service. Other New York credits include The Roar of the Greasepaint…, That’s Life, Bittersuite, What’s a Nice Country Like You Doing in a State Like This?, Zion, Company and Ionescopade.
