New Line Theatre, “the Bad Boy of Musical Theatre,” continues its eighteenth season of provocative, adult, alternative musical theatre with the St. Louis premiere of the outrageous sci-fi, rock and roll musical, Bob Carlton’s Return to the Forbidden Planet. Like a crazy cocktail of Rocky Horror and Star Trek, this smart, subversive piece of rock theatre throws together 1950s science fiction, some fake Shakespeare (we call it “Fakespeare”), and the muscle and untamed sexuality of early rock and roll.
Forbidden Planet contains some adult content.
