Joe's Pub To Present LUNA & THE STARBODIES By Truth Future Bachman
The theatrical concert is a prequel to Bachman's acclaimed musical “Shapeshifters”.
Fresh off a two week workshop at the Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College, Joe's Pub at The Public Theater will present 'Luna & THE STARBODIES', a theatrical concept album, on Friday July 29th at 7pm.
Earth is no longer safe for Luna, a transient starlet on the cusp of womanhood. Hitchhiking the night sky, she conceives three young rockstars, The Starbodies, who ignite the mother within her and illuminate her cosmic destiny. A transcendent new concept album that combines the suspense of Watchmen with the camp of Glee, 'Luna & THE STARBODIES' is an epic musical short about a life in transition. From the mind of composer, vocalist, and writer, Truth Future Bachman, this next chapter of "The Shapeshifters" Universe, encourages audiences of every age, gender, and sexuality to find their tribe, sing along, and reach the hero within.
The concert will feature performances by electro pop artist Blu Morpho, Truth Future Bachman (Shapeshifters, FARMED, Black Light), Z Infante (Kiss My Aztec, Alice by Heart), Mariye (On Sugarland), and Zia (Rent). Music direction is by Josh Kight (Hamilton, Philip Tour) and dramaturgy is by Dezi Tibbs.
