Music Director
Keun Daniels (Daniel Mullens)
A native of Upstate New York, Keun started taking piano lessons at the age of 6…and hasn’t stopped playing since! Having spent the formative years of his career in Colorado (developing skills as a teacher, conductor, and collaborative pianist), Keun moved back to the East Coast in 2017. Since then, he’s worked with various theatre groups and ensembles throughout North Jersey and New York City, balancing an active rehearsal and performance schedule with single (dog) parenthood. Keun is also the music director at Packanack Community Church in Wayne, NJ, and currently resides in Jersey City. Keun is a highly versatile musician whose résumé reflects a wide range of both opera and musical theatre productions (recent/ future projects include The Prom, Little Shop of Horrors and Cabaret). He is a staunch believer in the power of music to heal, provoke, and unify, and his end goal is to win a Tony award for the musical he hasn’t started writing yet. 🎵 @daniel_rising

Director & Choreographer
Eliah James Furlong
Eliah James Furlong (Director & Choreographer) is thrilled to make his directorial debut here at Old Library Theatre. His passion for storytelling was “forged in the fiery furnace that is” The Institute for American Musical Theatre in NYC. Along with IAMT, Eliah has trained at prestigious schools such as The Ailey School, Joffrey Ballet School, Milwaukee Ballet, and The Kentucky Governor’s School for the Arts. Eliah specializes in storytelling through movement. His choreography has been featured on stages across the country—most recently in OLT productions of It Shoulda Been You and Urinetown, for which Eliah won the OLT for Best Choreography. Eliah hopes this heartfelt comedy about acceptance, equality, love, understanding, finding your own voice, and showing the world who you really are inspires people to channel their “zazz” to live life out loud. @eliahjamesfurlong
