Taylor Crousore

Taylor co-wrote the book and starred as Taylor in the original Off-Broadway production of A Musical About Star Wars. But, he aged out of playing himself. So, now he's playing Scott. Othe Off-Broadway credits include The Blueprint Specials at the Public’s UTR Festival, Forbidden Broadway: Comes Out Swinging!, and NEWSical The Musical! Regional credits include Beauty and the Beast (Gaston), Peter Pan (Captain Hook), The Music Man (Harold Hill), and Angels in America (Joe Pitt). TV: “The Friday Zone” and “America's Got Talent.” He never made it to air though because Simon Cowell made him feel so belittled in front of hundreds of people, which brought back all of his severe social anxieties he had previously conquered. After a lot of crying and a lot of therapy, Taylor is very excited to get back on the stage doing what he loves. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have another breakdown.

Greg Sullivan

Greg Sullivan is thrilled to be playing Taylor opposite Taylor. He is a NYC-based actor, born and raised in the Princeton area of NJ.
