BEDBUGS!!! The Comedy Sci-Fi Thriller Rock Musical
Event Information
Description
Girl meets bug in this original comedy sci-fi thriller rock musical. BEDBUGS!!! follows the hilarious and heartbreaking story of Carly, a passionate, lone exterminator hell-bent on ridding New York City of its bloodsucking infestation down to the last hideous parasite. Set to an ‘80s inspired, melodic rock score, BEDBUGS!!! will take audiences on a journey so fantastical they won’t even realize they’re in the throes of a bedbug apocalypse!
BEDBUGS!!!, the much-buzzed about, award winning, sold-out smash hit of the 2008 New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) was described by critics as “…a little bit Little Shop of Horrors and a little bit Rocky Horror Show” (The New York Times), “a zany success” (CurtainUp.com), “an outrageously entertaining and inventive new kind of musical…” (TalkEntertainment.com), “extremely enjoyable” (NYTheatre.com), and “Sure to develop a cult following” (EdgeFireIsland).
