Amir Haidar: 
My name is Amir Haidar, the role I play is Jerry Lukowski and the thing I love the most about him is his just abandon and focus on the task ahead. When he has an idea, he’s so stubborn about it and wants to see it through no matter what.
The show is about a group of guys who are out of work, they’ve been out of work for a while and they are coming together for one night only to sort of try to make money up for the job that they’ve lost and in doing that they are trying to emulate the whole Chip n Dales strip show kind of thing, but of course they are just normal dudes and each of them have their own agendas towards him and each of them have their own insecurities, but together they are really trying to make it happen no matter what.
The biggest reward playing of this role is finding humanity in someone who is so not like me. Jerry is very unlike the kind of person that I am. He’s the he approaches life and the people in his life is questionable at times. But finding the humanity in finding this sort of kernel of who he is a part of what’s redeemable is the most rewarding part of it.
I think what will surprise the audience the most is two things: the amount of humour in the show and the beauty of the music and the score. 
I hope the audience will take away from the show that we are all insecure we all have our stuff that we are trying to work though. I think we really want idealize each other and idealize people in a way that we will never live up to. But at the end of the day our humanities, and our flaws and our insecurities kind of is what we want to see up there and want to resonate with more than perfection.
