Based on the 1989 Broadway musical of the same name with music and lyrics by Barry Keating and a book by Keating and Stuart Ross, STARMITES blasts off boasting an instant earworm score packed with delectable pop gems, epic ensemble sequences, and one of the most show-stopping diva showcases of all time at its center. Like no musical before or since, STARMITES is truly in a galaxy all its own. Featuring original cast member Liz Larsen as narrator and host for the evening, along with a starry assortment of talent both fresh and familiar. STARMITES has musical direction by Henry Aronson. Directed by Barry Keating & Pat Cerasaro."
