The sci-fi rock musical comedy Bedbugs!!! has announced an official closing date for its run at ArcLight Theatre. The production, which opened on September 14, will close on November 2. The musical is created by composer Paul Leschen and book writer and lyricist Fred Sauter. Robert Bartley directs and choreographs, with musical supervision by Deborah Hurwitz.

Bedbugs!!! follows Carly, an exterminator who is bent on avenging her mother's bedbug-related death. But instead, she accidentally mutates the pests into an army of blood-sucking, human-size rock gods.

Leading the cast are Chris Hall as Cimex, Grace McLean as Carly, Nicholas Park as Burt, and Brian Charles Rooney as Dionne Salon. The cast also includes Danny Bolero, Tracey Conyer Lee, Barry Shafrin, Gretchen Wylder, Courtney Bassett, and Colin Scott Cahill.

The creative team includes costume design by Philip Heckman; scenic design by Adam Demerath; lighting design by Kirk Fitzgerald; sound design by Ed Chapman; wigs, hair, and makeup design by Bobbie Cliffton Zlotnik; and props design by Cameron Pate. Adam Roberts is the associate choreographer.
