Following a sold-out and extended run at the 2011 New York Musical Theatre Festival, Balls…the Musical?, makes the move to a limited Off-Broadway engagement from tonight through 24 at The Lion Theatre on Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd St.). Opening night is December 8 at 8pm.
Billed as an "unruly quintet of testosterone-laden performers," Balls… is the creation of musical theatre veterans
Bret Carr,
Mick Bonde (Show Choir – NYMF),
Brandon Ellis (Company), Michael "Tuba" McKinsey (Civil War – Ford’s Theatre), and
Nick Verina(Young Ben in Follies), who describe the "not so politically correct world" of the modern-day straight man in musical theatre.
The creative team includes
Sonny Paladino (music director),
Abby Lee (choreographer/assistant director), Timothy Parish (lighting design), and
Jessica Paz (sound design).
Joshua Pilote is production stage manager. Brierpatch Productions will general manage the production. Balls…the Musical? is produced by Blue Balls Inc. in Association with JAKK Productions.
