Joshua will be playing Nate’s older brother Anthony and Lisa will play his long-lost aunt Heidi.

“From the moment Rueby Wood auditioned with a song from Wicked, I knew he had the true theater-kid spirit to bring Nate’s story to vivid, living color. Aria Brooks is a star on the rise whose comedic chemistry with Rueby was undeniable from day one,” Tim said in a statement, via Deadline. “Nate is a story about dreaming big, and it was a dream to have these newcomers joined by Joshua Bassett as Nate’s older brother Anthony, alongside the incredible Lisa Kudrow as their aunt Heidi.”
