Justin Huertas' LIZARD BOY Premieres Tonight at Seattle Repertory Theatre

Concluding Seattle Repertory Theatre's 2014-15 Leo K. season is the premiere of Seattle artist Justin Huertas' Lizard Boy, a modern love story set on the streets of Seattle. The show runs tonight, March 27, through May 2, 2015.

Commissioned by the Rep, Lizard Boy was the runaway hit of the 2013 New Play Festival. Huertas serves as writer, librettist, composer, and lead actor for this coming-of-age rock musical with a superhero twist.

From the ashes of Mount St. Helens emerged a monster with mysterious powers-powers that changed one boy's life forever. Superhero or freak? Not even he was sure until one fated night of adventure, music and love on the streets of Seattle. Triple-threat Seattle artist Justin Huertas brings his breakout hit of the 2013 New Play Festival to the mainstage in this world premiere production. Equal parts comic book lore, coming-of-age love story and irrepressible tunes, audiences can expect the unexpected in this original rock musical. Ka-Pow!!

Also in the cast are Kirsten deLohr Helland and William A. Williams. On the creative team are scenic designer L.B. Morse, costume designer Erik Andor, lighting designer Robert J. Aguilar and sound designer Matt Starritt.

Lizard Boy is presented as part of the Yes Project, an initiative focused on developing and presenting plays featuring young protagonists.
