Evie Apple, sometimes known as the Vixen of Virtue, is a dancer, singer, gamer, cosplayer, Loki variant, and all around silly nerdy person.

Now in her villain era, she feels wickedly grateful to share the stage with this amazing cast as the one and only Mayor Vaughn of Amity Island.

Alvin Urbano is making his acting debut in Jaws: The VERY UNAUTHORIZED Musical. Against all odds, he survived rehearsals and has lived to tell the tale. When not on stage, he can be found explaining that this seemed like a good opportunity at the time…💁🏻‍♂️
