The Opposite of Sex

The Opposite of Sex, a wickedly funny new musical based on the cult-favorite film of the same name, features music and lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen, book by Cohen and Robert Jess Roth and is directed by Roth.

Based on the screenplay by Don Roos, the musical follows the misadventures of Dedee Truit, a 16-year-old girl, who upon the death of her stepfather, runs away from home and settles in with her gay stepbrother, Bill. She quickly grows bored in the small Midwestern town, wreaks havoc on Bill and his best friend Lucia, seduces his boyfriend Matt, and takes off with him. With Bill and Lucia giving chase, Dedee trash-talks, seduces and blackmails her way from Lousiana to LA and back, leaving behind a trail of comic catastrophes.
