Andy Crosten, The blanche
​co-producer

Andy Crosten is a professional theater multi-hyphenate based in New York City. Golden Gays audiences will remember him as the troupe's original Blanche and he is just jumpier than a virgin at a prison rodeo to be back in the heels of Ms. B.E.D. herself! Originally hailing from Western Maryland, Andy went on to receive his BFA in Musical Theater from Shenandoah Conservatory, before settling in New York City in 2010. Since then, he has worked extensively in the Off-Broadway, Broadway, touring, and cabaret worlds in a variety of facets. Currently, you can catch him at the Triad Theater as a booking manager and director / producer of the long-running hit series, Bound For Broadway. Last year, he formed his production company Bennett Theatricals with his producing partner Andrew Winans. Together they manage multiple shows, readings, and are also executive producing the upcoming Off-Broadway run of Maddie: A New Musical Comedy, coming to The Players Theater in the Spring of 2025. Thanks to Mason for the endless love and support.

john michael dias (aka evita loca), The Rose


​John Michael Dias gained a nationwide following starring as Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons in the smash-hit Jersey Boys, playing the role on Broadway, as well as in the First National Tour, Las Vegas, and Chicago companies. He can also be seen singing special appearances nationwide with the vocal group The Doo-Wop Project.

Dias first dabbled as a drag queen here and there… but in the past several years, the diva has become a true live-singing star of the nightlife stage as Evita Loca.  Catch her in Puerto Vallarta Mexico and in NYC at Musical Mondays at the Spot.
