Invasion! The Musical
$25.00; $10.00 preview
Flying Pig Productions presents its inaugural production, the world premiere of Invasion! The Musical.
The show, which features book and lyrics by Aaron Matijasic and music by Billy Thompson, is a provocative satire reminiscent of Little Shop of Horrors and The Rocky Horror Show, with a dash of South Park and a spritz of Mel Brooks thrown in. Matijasic and Thompson direct.
On a hot summer night in 1952, the residents of Tucker County, New Mexico are at a moral crossroads. Suddenly, aliens attack! Faced with their impending doom, the townsfolk seize the opportunity to do and say all the things they’ve been keeping bottled up inside. As one would expect, all hell breaks loose. Themes of discrimination, social immorality and political hypocrisy are skewered without mercy.
