Trivia

 * America's Most Eligible TV show and Ivy Fisher are mentioned in Skye's premium scene in Chapter 1. You also watch a movie called "We" which is a parody of the movie "Us" given that both movies revolve around people being attacked by scissor wielding doppelgängers.

 * Prospero: Jordan Lee

 * Ariel: Casey Jenkins
 * Caliban: Michael Harrison
 * Alonso: Erin Ward
 * Gonzalo: Emma Hawkins
 * Antonio: Caleb Mitchell
 * Ferdinand: Rory Silva
 * Director: Ajay Bhandari
 * Stage Manager: Maria Flores
 * Music Director: Aiden Zhou
 * Other Crew: Skye Crandall, Graham
 * Chapter 12 is called "The Heist, London", which may be a reference to The Heist: Monaco.
 * A premium scene of Chapter 13 contains a Star Wars reference: if Alan asks out Faith by using a wrong syntactical structure, she will speak like Yoda and call him young Skywalker.
 * Further references in the same scene include The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables.
 * The song Faith sung for the music box is "Of Thee I Sing" from the musical of the same name, the first musical to win the Pulitzer prize for Drama.
