Congratulations to everyone who was a part of season 4! What an incredible final performance.
Stay tuned for what is coming next for Beyond Babel 🤫🤫
@noella.franco & @juliaalaimo you were both with us in spirit!
Meet Esosa Oviasu (he/him) an understudy from 2020 who’s been performing full time this season! He was born and raised in New York and has been dancing for the past 16 years in styles such as breaking, popping, and house.
When he’s not dancing Esosa loves to watch anime, art house movies, and play DnD with his close group of friends. Against his family’s best wishes, 90% of his current diet consists of cereal, and he has shown no indication of slowing down.🍌
Esosa share, “Babel has always been something that I thought I would always aspire to and never be able to join. To say being on this cast is a dream come true honestly undersells how much this time and these people mean to me. I don’t believe the full effect that this experience has had on me has truly sunk in, but I already know this has been one of the most special times in my life.” 🚀
Today is our final day of shows in NYC. What a journey this season of the show has been. We started back in January 2020 for our first day of rehearsals @judsonchurchnyc (last slide), opened to rave reviews, drama desk nominations, and @nytimes critics pick! Then on March 12, 2020 we had our last show and went on pause until we gloriously reopened in September 2021 to finish out our original run. We’ve said goodbye to some OG cast members, said hello to some new, changed artistic elements and navigated a pandemic.
Most importantly, we were able to continue to do this show because audiences showed up and we are forever grateful. Performing this show every night is a blessing and we thank everyone who traveled to NYC, bought a ticket, and watched this show.
As @hughniverse says, “New York, we love you.”
Here’s to what’s to come….stay tuned 🤫🤫

Meet Liv Battista (she/her) another original cast member from 2018 who is now a lead! She’s a native of New York City but is always dancin’ on both coasts. She grew up at Broadway Dance Center training in versatile styles to this day. Liv is proud to have trained with @shinsaofficial and personally under Bo Park, Candace Brown, Yanis Marshall and Cat Rendic. Some credits include, Marian Hill, Billie Eilish, AURORA, Cirque du Soleil, Tituss Burgess. 🌟
Some fun facts about Liv are that her dad was a world champion ballroom dancer and that she didn’t know a single person on the cast when Babel first started👀
Liv shares, “It’s hard to find the words to describe what babel means to me. It’s so much more than a show. These people have become my family with bonds and memories that will last a lifetime. Getting to share the stage with each and every person through the years has been something so special and something I’ll never take for granted. My life has changed tremendously since Babel began, it gave me a voice and I’m so honored to continuously tell this story alongside this cast.”💜
Meet Hugh Aparente (he/him) an original cast member from 2018 who now plays the lead!! He was born in the Philippines, raised in Detroit and currently lives in California. Hugh has trained in all styles and some credits include JLO, Billie Eillish, JBALVIN, Olivia Rodrigo, Bebe Rexha, Netflix, Fortnite. He’s also worked with choreographers such as Kyle Hanagami, Ian Eastwood, Nappytabs, Kinjaz, Squared Division.🕺🏻
Hugh loves eating food, and video games and some fun facts shared are that he doesn’t like dessert and hasn’t been dancing for very long.
Hugh shares, “Babel means more than just dance. It’s a feeling, it’s a place, it’s Home. A place to tell this story that people need to hear. To be able to impact people’s lives and touch their hearts, as an artist, it’s the greatest thing anyone could ever ask for. And to do it with this cast of people, it’s a freaking honor.”🚀
