Apart from Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, the audio-drama also has famous names like Sujata Kumar, Suchitra Pillai, Arif Zakaria and others.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi remembers how over the years during the previous performances of this text, a lot changed and she was almost about to wound up her life till a graceful opportunity knocked on her door, "Over the course of Drama Queen performances, I lost many members of my family—my sister Sujata Kumar who voices Amma in the show, my parents, and my two beloved dogs, Cupcake and Muffin—all of whom were central to the play. After Amma passed away at the end of 2023, I just couldn’t go on. I had wound up the show. Bid it goodbye. This offer was truly a godsend. It brought my family, my voice, and my memories back to life.”

Going over how the pandemic hit the performing arts field hard, she mentions, “I remember the disappointment of my cancelled shows in the US, UK, and Australia due to the pandemic and other delays.
