Presented in an English version and an all-new, locally-produced French adaptation
This smart and fast-paced musical is an affectionate spoof of 1950’s sci-fi movies. In this show, a mutant brain from another planet comes to Earth with the intention of dominating our world. How will it accomplish this sinister task? By destroying the traditional family unit as we know it, that’s how! But what happens when the aliens arrive on Earth and discover their respective libidos for the first time? The show includes toe-tapping music and some of the most delightful, original characters you’ve ever seen in a musical.

Where is it?
I saw the world premiere in Los Angeles. I also work on the official Bruce Kimmel (Composer, lyricist and librettist) website. The webpage has pictures of the original LA and NYC production.
There is also a cast album of the LA Production available.
