Genre: Musical
It’s 1954 and the bluebloods of Baltimore are facing an atomic-sized threat in hip-swiveling jeans.
From the delightfully demented mind of John Waters and the writers of “Hairspray” comes the story of a guitar-playing loner and the good girl who dares to cross to his side of the tracks. What starts as an innocent romance balloons like a mushroom cloud…as the squares use every weapon in their arsenal to keep him from tickling her taffeta.
This off-kilter new musical comedy, featuring an original score from the co-founder of “Fountains of Wayne” and the executive producer of “The Daily Show,” will have you rocking in your seat and rolling in the aisles.
