The new off-Broadway musical Bedbugs!!! will perform at Times Square's Ripley's Believe It or Not between noon and 1pm on Saturday, October 11, as part of Comic Con's Super Week. The cast of performers will feature Courtney Bassett, Danny Bolero, Colin Scott Cahill, Nicholas Park, Barry Shafrin, and Gretchen Wylder.

A sci-fi rock-musical-comedy, Bedbugs!!! follows Carly, an exterminator who is hell-bent on avenging her mother's bedbug-related death. In an effort to permanently rid the city of its infestation, she accidentally mutates the pests into an army of human-size, intelligent, carnal creatures out for blood and world domination. With direction and choreography by Robert Bartley, the musical features music by Paul Leschen and a book and lyrics by Fred Sauter.

Bedbugs!!! is running now through November 2 at the ArcLight Theatre.
