BAYSIDE! THE MUSICAL! to Open Off-Broadway this Weekend, 9/21

Bayside! The Musical!, the musical parody of TV's "Saved By The Bell", will celebrate its Opening Night Off-Broadway at New York City's Theatre 80 on September 21, 2013 following previews which began on September 12.

Bayside! The Musical! stars Sam Harvey as Zack Morris, Maribeth Theroux as Kelly KaPOWski, John Duff as A.C. Slater, April Kidwell as Jessie Spano, Justin Cimino as Samuel "Screech" Powers, Shamira Clark as Lisa Turtle, Amanda Nicholas as Every Other Student at Bayside and former New York City mayoral candidate Seth Blum as Mr. Belding.

From the twisted minds that brought you Showgirls! The Musical, Bayside! The Musical! tackles all the tough questions: Will Zack and Kelly break up? Will Slater quit wrestling forever? Who will develop an incurable caffeine addiction? Will the gang save The Max? Will Screech die? Bayside! The Musical! has it all: large cell phones, wrestling, feminism, ducks covered in oil, teenage pregnancy, and proms.

Bayside! The Musical! features book, music, lyrics and direction by Bob and Tobly McSmith (Showgirls! The Musical!, JonBenet! Murder Mystery Theater!). Jason Wise (Cats, Beauty and the Beast) is the choreographer and associate director. Susan O'Dea is the music director. Marcus Desion is the seamstress. Bayside! The Musical! is produced by John Capo and MediumFace Productions.
