Balls: The Monster-Catchin' Musical faced a casting crisis just weeks before its opening when the lead actor exited. Co-creators Brandon Zelman and Harrison Bryan brainstormed potential solutions and considered reaching out to Stuart Zagnit, the original voice of Professor Oak. Zagnit, known for his musical theater background and previous iconic roles, agreed to join the production. His involvement added a nostalgic element to the character and brought a depth to the musical, enhancing its entertainment value with variety and humor.
Getting the original voice of the actual professor that we grew up with seemed like the most insane possible route, but we had known that Stuart was a musical theater performer for much of his career.
There's development in there, there's variety, and there's jokes within the music. It's kind of a full meal of entertainment.
